The FA Limited Club

The FA77 really does have a habit of making total snapshots seem like something more. Not claiming this is high art, but a quick snap of a boring subject under crappy light should not result in something so smooth and richly toned.

One more from the other day with the 43:

Alleyway

Mixed feelings about this shot.

I also like it.

Some Fall colors from the 43 and *istD.

Yes, and not far to row out to your yacht moored in the bay there. A lot of great (and expensive) views in that end of town.

It was a few years ago and I slept on a mates floor for 6 months. Unfortunately neither of us owned any property there, yachts included.

The FA77 handled itself quite well at the local corn maze today, despite the harsh midday sun! I swear, I will never understand people who are down on this lens:

And because we can't let the 77 can't have all the fun, here, with the 43:

Nice shot, and I know exactly what you mean.

I'm pretty sure an FA77 will find it's way onto my K-5 not too long after a DA15 (or DA12-24) does.. they should simply sell the Limiteds as kits.. FA Ltd' kit for say.. $1700-1900 the DA Ltd's for $1500..

Recently got an FA31 and have been trying it out. Here are a few pics from a Car Show yesterday:

Everyone loves alpacas (FA77):

It's been a while since I had a chance to contribute, but this week I shot each poet who read at the Cuisle International Poetry Festival 2011. I'll put a couple examples here and a couple in the POTW thread. I used my K20D at ISO 400 and applied one of my "signature" processes to get this B&W look. The first photo is from the FA43 (at f/2) and the second the FA77 (at f/2.8).
