Hey Frank,
There is no need for shouting or foul language. If you cant debate a point like and adult, do us all a favour, dont debate it at all.
The subject is photography and Pentax lenses and I will stop debating a point when I decide that I dont want to debate it anymore thank you very much. You are not the censor of this list. I notice that you feel you are able to jump on that same "dead horse" and ride it a little more, so what gives? Compared to the other 135s that are available I still think that it is a bad lens and would not recommend buying it.. Bad resolution all round. Bad colour rendition. Poor 3d rendition. Suffers from flare. Poorly made. Not recomended.

Christ, Antonio,
Give it a freaking rest!! You've made your freaking point, do you have to go on and on and on and on? Do you kniow what "beating a dead horse" is?
We know you don't like the lens. We know you used to own one. Enough already.
Just because Christain says it's not worth the $50 that whoever it was saw it for, doesn't mean it's a bad lens. It means that because of their reputation (whether deserved or not) and because they're so plentiful, the going price is like $20 or $30, that's what it means.
The market value ~can~ be quite independant of it's quality.
The Super Tak f1.4 50mm screwmount can usually be picked up for under $50. It's an OUTSTANDING lens (as long as it doesn't have the yellow curse, which can be fixed anyways). If made today, Pentax would have to market it for over $1000, likely much more. Because it's routinely available on eBay for under $50 doesn't mean it's a bad lens. Just that it's supply is more plentiful than the demand. Basic economics.
But, really, take a Valium and chill out, dude. You're becoming bothersome...
cheers, frank

Yes, you loved it so much you would not recomend spending more than $20 on it. Contradiction?
