Is the FA 77 worth the price?

Stratario · 02-12-2009, 01:58 PM

I think the second photo in that link is the cutest picture of that kid that I've seen. Unfortunately my brand new FA77 is sitting on the shelf collecting dust. My 20 year old wouldn't let me take any pictures of her and I don't have any other subjects to shoot.

No really, please stop! As it is, I'm struggling with my inner demons on whether I should click on the "Buy Now" from ProDigital2K on the 31mm. Luckily, I'm holding out for a silver so I get to struggle a little longer.

The last thing I need is to lust after a 77mm... I think what we all need is for spring to get here soon so we stop looking at other people's pictures!

I am going to break the mould and say "only just". It can really blow your socks off at times but the AF is terribly slow and it does suffer from severe bokeh cyan/green fringing for a $700 lens.

The size and the f/1.8 are intoxicating though.

Oh no worries legacyb4.....just call them and they will ship you the silvers.....just as easy as clicking the buy it now. Ask them to pack in a box or they might ship in a bubblewrap bag.... just think of all the money you would save on combined shipping.....since you're ordering both... I mean if you don't buy them both it would be like loosing money.....right?
