Damn that’s a news! You remember the leaked image from the Pentax K-7 showing a 1.0 aperture on the top LCD. We all believed ths was just a fake. Now a new image is showing us the D-FA 50 f1.0 lens on a fake/real Pentax roadmap.
And here again the “old” leaked image. So may this lens is REAL???

“Pentax is investigating the possibility of launching a Micro Four Thirds-style camera, to compete against the likes of Olympus and Panasonic.” via: amateur photographer Many companies like Samsung Nikon Canon and Sony are working on mirrorless camera systems so it comes with no surprise that Pentax will join the adventure
via amateur photgrapher: “Lenses fitted to the cameras have a one switch for AF/MF while a further switch marked On/Off appears to activate a stabilization system with-in the optical construction.“
AmateurPhotographer reported that the previously rumored Samsung GX30 will not be released (at least for now) because Samsung is concentrating on the NX series. via: photorumors.com
Funny thing that this fixed focal length lens would have a petal-shaped zoom hood, isn’t it?
I’d like to have one if it does really exist.
But I’ve a few questions to the rumor,
First, if the old leaked image from the Pentax K-7 showing a 1.0 aperture on the top LCD was taken under a real condition (LENS-ON), why the ISO level was set to 1250 when the F-number was already 1.0 and at a speed of 1/8000S (MAX. SPEED)? Even in M mode seems that there should provide no ground for such a test?
Also, why would PENTAX produce a “D-FA” nowadays? Shouldn’t she concentrate on the production of DA Limited, DA Star & DA?
Mistral75, there’s nothing odd about it having a petal hood.
The old FA 35mm, 50mm and several others have petal hoods.
Even some of the new DAs like the 15mm f/4 have a petal hood of sorts.
