Really enjoying the FA 50 1.4 on my K200D. Appreciate any comments/suggestions.

Time for a shave ? That is a good portrait - colors are pure it would have been nice if he tilted a little more towards the camera to get both eyes in focus. Love the raised eyebrow. Well done.

Haven't shaved in a long time, just keep it trimmed nice and neat.

Thanks. JPG straight from camera, k200d set on 'natural'. Really like the colour rendition, I did set a custom white balance. A ton of light pouring through the window, bouncing everywhere due to the snow.

Getting any eyes in focus was tricky, I took that by sticking my arm out, holding the camera sideways, farthest left focus point, and hit the shutter with my ring finger.
