Pentax/Cosmicar 25mm f1.4 Test drive

very interesting lens. the swirl bokeh is interesting and it is quite sharp for a cctv.

thanks for sharing.

 

thank you so much! i have one of these on the way I can't wait to have a play with it!
You take some wonderful photos tommy!
thanks for sharing them!  

 

I own this lens since +/- 1 year and am very happy with it !
Fast, sharp, little vignetting ....
A very good fast "normal" lens on µ4/3

Here's a few examples I shot over time :

DMC-G1    ---    0mm    f/1.0    1/4000s    ISO 100

DMC-G1    ---    0mm    f/1.0    1/3200s    ISO 100

DMC-G1    ---    0mm    f/1.0    1/1600s    ISO 200

Have fun,
Rafael

 

Those are all very nice pictures, thanks for sharing them. From the ones I tried, I think this little lens is the best value in 25 mm c-mounts (considering the prices that older ones go for...). I still sold mine because it is a little small for my large fingers - and I still have a few others in that length. But I keep regretting that when I see nice pictures like these here...

i am enjoying mine now i've received it!   it's quite a good little (i emphasise little) lens!

Does anyone know what kind of front cap I need for this lens or where I can get one?

 

This looks likes a keeper of a lens! Very nice images on this thread

 

You will need a 27mm lens cap - just search for one on Amazon. The first result will get you the Sunpak one, which was what I got. About $5...

I like this lens but have not been using it much. I actually like the circular bokeh and vignetting.

 

Thanks for that. Ordered one  

 

great pictures!!! I was wondering if I have the 20mm 1.7 is it worth it to buy this lens too?... I can't find where to buy the lens though can someone give me a website or something that sells it? thank you

 

Aznmochamike, u can find the lens on sale at ebay.

 

but why do they all look different so i thought there were some fake ones out there

 

I'm actually having a lot of fun with mine. Looks out of proportion on my camera cause the TV lenses are so thin.

 

B&H sells them for $90 plus shipping. Here is the :43: link to the B&H website - search for Pentax 25mm
