No Pentax..

DPR Reviewed the DFA*50 F1.4, with Samples

https://www.dpreview.com/articles/9615174387/hands-on-with-the-pentax-hd-fa-50mm-f1-4-for-real-this-time

Overall looks not too positive. And, it mentions about a rebadged OEM lens, too. Btw, DPR seems not too Pentax friendly these days. ;-)

Measurbating Review of the DFA*50 F1.4 at the Korean SLR Club

http://www.slrclub.com/v/common_review/9979

In Korean, but the test pictures and crops with simple legends are self-explanatory. The DA*55 F1.4 is also compared to. And, K-1 II is used for the test.

With quite some samples, full original JPEGs available with EXIF at the linked Flickr. Some purple/green fringing can be seen at wide apertures, anyway.

I blog, you decide.

DPR has Re-shot Studio Scene

Conclusion remains unchanged.

A Practical K-1 Vs Mark II Shootout (with Real Scenes)

(in Japanese)

IMO, the images from the Mark II have dull colours as what DPR suggested. However, the resolution difference is not as huge, ditto for the noise difference.

K-1 II has Worse IQ than K-1 and is Not Recommended by DPR

I am not surprised with the conclusion for what I have inspected and found with different Mark II samples these days.

DPR K-1 II Samples are Out

Same as what the PF has found, the direct out-of-the-camera JPEGs look soft to me.

DCW Reviewed the K-1 Mark II

The K-1 is not compared, though. That is, the Mark II is assessed alone.
