FA31ltd
Been quite a while since I have done any walkabout shooting.
2yrs to be exact, since I felt little inclination to doing it.
But its really been refreshing to do it again with perhaps the best walk about lens made, the FA31ltd.
2 things from the shooting this.
One, AF isn't quick to AF on the fly, but it goes back to the basics of photography, prefocus and wait for the moment.
So don't let slower AF be a frustration point
2nd point, I have read that the lack of baffling in the adapter makes lenses flare when shooting into the Sun. (apparent in this photo too).
So maybe some DIY baffling will help. (yet to try )
The wide FOV and large aperture on the FA31ltd makes it so ideal to just open up the aperture to isolate a subject when necessary during such walks.
I simply moved the AF point via the joystick to the subject in this case, avoiding any potential inaccuracy of the center focus+recompose method.
Of course, being wide, if I need to cover a wide FOV, the FA31ltd again makes it possible with just stepping back a little.
Overall, AF is ok like the other lenses with a big plus point of better consistency.
I tend to find the K1 AF working funny with the 31ltd in that even if I am static, AF on the same point can yield differing results.
Its more controlled with this setup and using AF point selection makes it even better.
