Canon 1-series, 5D II, and others definitely have metal

There really is no comparison between a Pentax LTD lens and a Canon consumer grade prime. I took a million very good shots with my Canon EF50/1.8, but honestly these two are apples and oranges. Though, I do think the EF 50 will work better on a Canon body than the LTD will if you want to use it for photography.😉

That was a Mk I lens too, I am an old school EOS user.

Seems to me that the 50mm f1.8 would sharpen up at f2.8 to be as good as the 40mm f2.8. I could be wrong though. No big deal. I won't get angry at anyone for buying one; it's just not my cup of tea.

I'll probably end up with the 43, too--I had it once before and sold it.

Go for it, its a beautiful lens:

FA43, f2.4



100% Crop

In fact, it's on its way from Adorama as we speak. It will be nice to have it back!
