I can see why people say that the way the in focus/out of focus areas of the FA 31 are portrayed together, have the lens give a bit of a "medium format look" to the pictures.
It's also interesting to put these FA 31 images side by side with the 77Artisan pictures. The Pentax lens designers always said they want "soft areas to look soft" and the 77Artisan lenses, while good lenses, make soft areas look quite harsh. Especially that 35mm.

agreed ... the 31 Limited is an amazing lens and I've only scratched the surface of it in a month of shooting....

the TT Artisan lenses are a mixed bag - the 50/1.2 is truly special and has a ton of Art in it, while the 35/1.4 is a much more pedestrian lens...
