Hey Digitalis, did that Pentax to Leica converter ever work? I'm also interested in seeing some shots from the Leica version of the 43 mm

I have some shots from the 43 f/1.9 M mount lens, and it is truly superb..though the FOV most certainly takes some getting used to. however, the novoflex adapter hasn't arrived yet.

by FA43, I brought FA77 with me, but FA43 seemed to be more comfortable...

henryjing · 08-29-2010, 08:36 AM

FA77 @ f/2
sorry for the noise, but this is what K-7 does @ ISO3200...And I love noise, so I did not do the noise-reduction...

I think the noise works very well with that shot. Well done.

I think I've showed enough of this, but I like this one.

FA77, shot over-the-shoulder.

agree on this one, it's lovely image and the noise works well with it.
Once again, well done Henry

Ya know what Henry....I am being to think there is something going on here more than you taking all these great photos of my girlfriend!!!

Who knew there was such a great subject to shoot in Ohio? hehehehe...really man all these shots are really nicely done.

I really like these last two. As always you really take nice shots. Of course it's just the lenses and subject making you look good.

Thx, guys.

Judging from your previous photos, I think you would really enjoy the FA31. The DA*16-50 is very nice, too, though.

henryjing · 08-31-2010, 09:14 PM

I've owned FA31 before, but it was a AIV version. So, taking advice of somebody here, I sold it and may try to get a MIJ version in furture.
