FA 77... the ultimate Point and Shoot lens

**Billy Joe** · 07-17-2013, 03:46 PM

My good friend loaned me his 77 / 31 DA 15 / 21 - What a great friend!

I have always longed for a 77 since I first borrowed one long ago...

Put it on the K-01, dial it back to F1.9, set it and forget it... POINT AND SHOOT

Fantastic shots. Now give me that cat.

If I didn't have the FA 43 I'd be all over that lens. What did you think of the DA 21? That's next on my LBA.

All the FA Ltd lenses have the X factor. If you need a longer focal length than 43mm, then the 77 would be a great lens to invest into.

I just really got a hold of them... I love the 77 so much it has barely left the camera. I will pop back after I give the 21 a go... I am not a wide shooter, so I have trouble visualizing the shots, if you know what I mean...

wow, amazing shots.
That is quite a friend you have.

Love the images. Just bought a 77 on ebay, can't wait to get my hands on it. Your post makes me feel better about already. Just have to figure out how to tell my bookkeeper.... er, wife.

I have never had a lens that was so perfect for me... I hope you have the same feeling when you start clicking away.

Excellent set - somehow I'll survive with my DA70

but this shows the FA77 to be all that owners (and borrowers!) say that it is!

Wow, generous offer...or was to say thankyou... Did you save him from being swept away into the ocean or something?

did you by it used? New? What is defective about it???????

Borislav · 07-20-2013, 08:26 PM

I bought it used and AF wont work. There is something wrong with camera not recognizing the lens.
