Overview

The HD Pentax-FA 43mm F1.9 Limited is a compact, metal-built pancake lens with superb build quality. Optically, it is a stellar performer with very few weaknesses, though it shows significant chromatic aberration and is soft wide open at f/1.9. It offers a unique 43mm focal length (64.5mm equivalent on APS-C) and is well-suited for photographers who value craftsmanship and a compact package. The lens is expensive but delivers high image quality, especially when stopped down.
