Not really.. the Pentax lens actually has higher build quality than the Zeiss. Both the Pentax and the Zeiss has far superior image quality to the Canon thirfty fifty. The only difference is that one can be exchanged for $800 cash, and the other can be exchanged for only $50 cash.
So if you overlook the price difference.. then yes.. it's an apples to apples comparison.
No, you aren't. First of all you are comparing a slower lens with a 5 blade aperature (I'm assuming the $800 lens has more, hence the better bokeh) to a faster optically superior lens? And you honestly expect a $50 lens to compare well to an $800 lens? :roll: That's like comparing a Mustang to a Ferrari.
Um do you even know about the takumar lenses? You obviously don't, since the takmar lens I posted has an 8blade aperture, and in fact, Mike Johnston at Sunday Morning Photographer who has used every friggen 50mm out there says the Pentax has the best bokeh he has ever seen. And yes the takumar lenses has better build quality than newer zeiss lens. The older zeiss lens, however, destroys all in build quality.
The takumar lens is only so cheap because it's 35 yrs old, and is on a dead mount(m42 screwmount). A japanese engineer actually says that if the takumar lens was sold today, it would sell for $1200-1500. That's more than $800. :roll:
