Pentax-M 50mm f1.7

[BT*ist]

Got my first prime lens on the weekend : a second-hand Asahi Pentax 50mm f1.7 (the Manual one). I think I might in the longer term regret not getting the autofocus one but for now it's a cool addition.

A crop of a photo of my laptop screen (writing 'The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog", Times New Roman size 12), taken at the minimum shooting distance of 45cm at f1.7:

Happy with the sharpness, I'll definitely be playing around with it more!
