I actually used a zoom lens for all these (smc PENTAX-A 70~210mm 1:4) but my 50mm (the one I used for the first photo in colour) isn't fancy at all. its anything but fancy really, its a 31 year old manual focus manual metering lens. I don't have a photo of my lens but here is an info page on it.
There is a lot of dials and stuff on that thing haha

ya know what though, sometimes the older lenses are better, built with better materials. I have an old Minolta SLR (never used it because I can't it to work) but the lenses weigh a ton compared to my D40 lenses

just an aperture ring with the aperture marks f/1.7-22 (something modern lenses don't have). the other markings are distance scales in both feet and meters. these are used as reference points for calculating Depth of Field. (DOF) all this stuff is handled by the camera and and lens automatically on modern SLR and DSLR's.

most defiantly built better. my 50 is all metal, with a focus ring that turns smooth as butter. it was hand built in Japan by a skilled pentax technician. not like today.... though you can get brand new pentax lenses with this quality if you shell out big bucks for the new DA Limited series or the slightly older FA limited series. I don't have that kind of money though

Don't think this is just another news article with the usual love deviations that have already hundreds of favorites! All of these deviations don't have even 100 favorites & they're the best!
