I would but there isn't much to say about it. It is a bit soft at f1.4 and sharp at f2.8. It gives beautiful colours and bokeh, quick AF and good build quality. A solid choice in a 50mm lens.
If you want to read other peoples thoughts, check out the lens database on PentaxForums.

@NechakoRiver thanks for the help, do you reckon you could review the lens?
-
You don't see the blades when using the aperture ring. They move when the shutter is fired.
-
@NechakoRiver as for the aperture ring, does it make it so that when you look through the view finder you preview the aperture, or do the blades only work when the shutter is released?
-
Yes I would, It is a great little lens.
It is soft at f1.4 but at f2.8 it is nice and sharp plus the depth of field is easier to work with so I usually keep it around there. It is probably one of my most used lenses. The AF is very quick and doesn't hunt as much as my other favourite lens, the Tamron 90mm.
I haven't used the Sigma so I can't help you there.
-
can you recommend the smc 1.4, because I'm torn between that and the sigma offering...
-
No problem!

@NechakoRiver Ty.

PENTAX K100D Super vs Pentax K7 -[motor test]by BlessoPL5,840 views
hey! I usually use the same gear as shown in the video (K-7 with FA 50 1.4). This could be a really good camera if it hadn't 2 major flaws - big af points and poor IQ on higher isos. as the image quality problem is now fixed withe the K-5 there's still the seckond issue to go. i really hope that pentax will wor a lot on it's SAFOX and we'll see results in the next model.

I'm also looking forward to seeing the next Pentax DSLR. I like my K-7 enough that I'm not sure if the K-5 is worth the upgrade for me. I will be looking at the next version for sure.
Last summer I bought the 16-50mm and 60-250 DA* lenses, so a new faster camera would be great.
