I have just sold my DA 40mm and got my FA 43mm.
I decided to move from DA limited to FA limited, because I want my lens can mount both on my DSLR and film camera.
I got my FA 43mm today, and tried some pictures.
The bokeh of the FA 43mm is so beautiful, which is well-known for a FA Limited. However, the sharpness is not so satisfied as the DA 40mm.
The AF speed and its noise upset me to some extent, as I am used to DA 15 and DA 40.
The most important thing is, the color of DA 40 is much more Pentax than FA 43, I don't know why, just have this feeling.
At least, I wanna say on a DSLR, the DA 40mm seems much worthier as its price.
I hope the FA31mm coming tomorrow will change my viewpoints on FA Limited.
