Wow.. excellent works with the FA50!!!!!
Hope the AF will be faster on the new pentax FF? lolx
I think I was thinking of BKK too much.
FA77ltd, certainly the most unique offering there is out there.
A fast short tele the size of most brand's 50mm lens.
Plan a BKK Motorshow outing for Pentax!!! a 3 day 2 night just for car show. hahahaha.. hope the trip is after our FF is out would be best.
Are you interested?
Its this or Bali.
I doubt FF will be out and on our hands this early.

A50/2, very compact, which is so attractive as a travel lens.
I have not tried the DA50/1.8.
If its really the same optics as the 50/1.7 but with rounded aperture, it may well be one of the best 50mm ever (and I have tried quite a few)
Not sure if there is any motorshow during November though. hee..

How about this in October? Jap race queens and Super GT cars at Buriram, Thailand.

I can only have better clarity after Jun-Jul.
But feel free to go and ask anyone here if they are interested if you don't mind.
More from the K28/3.5
I've shunned the 28mm focal length for quite a while on digital.
But this lens has certainly got me back to shooting 28mm.

Pentax has a wide array of high quality lens from wide angle to macro and telephoto. Here is an example of the versatility of the A 100 f/2.8 macro lens. This lens is one of the sharpest macro lens manufactured by Pentax, sharp even when at wide open.

DSC01819 by maverick_h, on FlickrResults certainly look good.
I should try out your A100/2.8 macro one of the days.
The downside of my F100/2.8 is that its an AF lens and has a very 'lossey' MF damping.
I do love the AF limiter switch though.
I just purchased SMC M 50/1.7 lens.
Eyeballing the 20...
Still no body yet.
Congrats!
The 50/1.7, is small, well made, cheap and good.
The 20mm?
If its the M20/4, this is a gem and a very unique offering indeed.
So small, that its easily taken along at any time.

In general, Photographers uses 50mm , 85mm or 135mm for portraits. I find that the 100mm is also versatile for portraits. Here is a sample of the flexibility offered by the 100mm macro lens to shoot both Macro and Portraits. Its good to bring it along whenever one travels, as it can achieve 2 objectives. Will need to bring it out more..

There is talk about the 28m ... well here is my contribution. M 28mm f/2.8 .
In general, I dun have an major issue with the IQ from this lens. Good on FF, and best of all its small ( easy to put into your pocket ) and cheap .

DSC04535 by maverick_h, on FlickrDSC04553 by maverick_h, on FlickrThe size of the K28 /3.5 and M28 / 2.8 , is there much difference?
You have the 'Hollywood' lens?
The K28/3.5 isn't small either considering its a f3.5.
Very hefty too for the f-stop.
But still small considering many other brand stuff.
I read before that this lens was originally sold at a higher price than the f2.8 and supposedly better aimed at a higher end .
Its bigger than the M28/2.8 which is a tiny lens.
IIRC, it might be rather close in size to the K28/3
M28/2.8 is almost pancake.
I would have got one to play with if not for my long time aversion to the 28mm focal length. (burned out shooting it on film)

Takumar 58/2
One of my favourite 50mm.
Not the best technically, but it certainly gives something a bit different.
Tiny for an SLR 50mm (the smallest I've come across in fact), very well made.
The only only Sonnnar 50mm lens for the SLR.

Yup, have the K28/2 only last year.
