FA31. I used this lens a lot when I first got it two years ago, but I prefer longer focal lengths, so it sat unused for a while. I kind of forgot how good it was. It's unusual to have such smooth rendering in a wide angle, and the effect is really pleasing.




Love your dog set's... they just look so bright and cheery, it makes me smile. Your color space is awesome too.
Thanks for sharing, I needed that today.

Aww, thank you! I am not very brand loyal, I use lenses of all makes and ages, but I love Pentax colors, especially in the Limiteds. There's a lot you can do in post, but some lenses are just a headache to get something nice. I never have to struggle with the Limiteds.

As I get familiar with a lens, I'll subconsciously assign it a color, a shade which tends to come to the forefront if it's at all present in the picture. In my head, FA31 is pink, 77 is magenta. Bright, cheerful colors that make a good counterpoint to the green and gold scenes I like so much.

One more with the FA77 from the weekend before last. I don't know where Gus found all that mud, but he was pretty happy about it.
