Originally posted by ivanvernon I will not get the K-1 until bugs are identified and price comes down a little. However I am already looking forward to using the 77 more often, and just hoping its unique qualities will be preserved along with a more comfortable shooting distance. In particular, it should be much easier to use indoors without having to back up the farthest wall!
Yeap, we have different use, I tend to use the FA77 for more tight portrait were FA77 is a great focal length on APSC but would be too short on FF. The fact that if I decide to migrate to FF, I would have to use a much bigger 135mm lens is one to not migrate and to not want FF.
The FA77 on FF will render almost exactly like a 50mm f/1.4 is doing today on APSC. In term of deph of field and in term of perspective compression. There no real need for an FF body to get that there either the sigma 50mm, the FA43 or the DA*55
.. FA43 is viewed by many as the lens with the most interresting rendering of the FA ltd and the 55 is no slouch...
Sure I like a lot the FA77, but there no way the FA77 will render the same on FF. The perspective compression and bokeh will look different because the magnification is not the same.
