Yikes that is a good price. I've gone 6 years without a dedicated portrait lens.....and any lens faster that f2.4......hmmm. So tempting.

So tempting is right.....

I had in the back of my mind to slowly save for a DA* 16-50 for the next Black Friday deals, and here it comes with similar prices in March! On man...........

You NEED that lens. I just bought mine off of ebay from Henry's of Canada and couldn't be happier. The FA 31 will have to wait......or maybe I won't miss it.....naw

Ok - now you are tilting my need/want scale to the need side.......

I had a 16-50 some time back - ended up selling it to fund another purchase. Now that I have settled down to my almost perfect kit, my only hole is in that range.

DA 10-17
DA 12-24

DFA 50 macro
DFA 100 macro WR
DA* 60-250
DA* 300

Don't you remember the great deep color and contrast this lens offers? You won't see that kind IQ in a cheap Tamron or yellowish tinted Sigma

Don't know - never needed anything that fast. When you get 300mm+ and fast together means big bucks!

Yes I do! My DA* lenses have really spoiled me as with the rest with the great Pentax rendering. And I've also been the Tamron/Sigma route and agree with you on that. This is why I was saving up for the 16-50 - this sale just caught me by surprise money wise - was expecting to have to wait until the end of November. Will have to see if I can pull something out of the hat before the end of Wednesday........
