pinholecam said:Took me quite a bit of pondering over which 21-24-28mm to get. There was the DA21ltd, Sigma 24/28 f1.8 and the FA*24.
In fact the K24/2.8 was already 'good enough' except that it isn't AF for one handed shots.
Didn't take an immediate liking to this lens. Large, rather heavy and the silver finishing is a pain to keep from scratches. Hate the hood.
But I think I am slowing coming to terms with this lens.
Changed out the hood to a standard and to me better looking black metal one.
Can't complain about the o/p.
FA*24/2

Took the FA*80-200 for some warm-up
FA*80-200 at 200mm f2.8
Some really brilliant photographs all round. That's what I really like about pentaxians, letting their pictures do the talking. Kengoh timed his bird shots so well these days.
I also see lots of 8-16 adopters as well! And JK! Are you trying to complete all FA*s?
And all the k5 shots are so clean!
I am back with a kit lens these days - here's a shot using a 2nd hand kit lens I have gotten from a fellow pentaxian, and it's with a test scene I almost always used everytime I got something new.
