Great shot Peter! And congrats on the bundle of joy!

Thanks, and sweet shot although not in your typical colours! But I suppose we all have to do something different now and then

Well, I finally had some time to try out my (new to me) FA 43 Limited.
These aren't much, just some test shots but I am definitely impressed with this lens. I think I like the focal length a little better on film ( I have half a roll of Tri-X shot with this lens that I'm hoping to have developed tomorrow) but it makes a great light weight combo with my K2000.

Both shots shot RAW with a K2000 and processed in ACDSee Pro 3

@1.9

And one in colour by the 43:

My FA 31 arrived Friday. Saturday morning, I messed about the house looking for some test subjects. Ya, there's some of that pixie dust in this copy. Yeah.

I'm thinking this lens is going to give me some fun monochrome images in the near future.

K-7 PEF converted to B&W using Lightzone 3.9

I thought I'd share some recent film shots with the FA31. I'm not very good at film scanning, yet, so I'll just post them in smaller size.

Up and coming Pentaxian,

Fromage!

Excellent shots by everyone!

I got this one this morning one street away south of me, with the FA43 wide open-

Nice shot TOUGEFC! Shame the City's misfortune had to provide it ... I hope all is well - it looks horrible on the news back here in the UK.

My Wife gave birth to a lovely little boy on New Years Day (1/1/11) @ 21:38, weighing 7lb 3oz. We've called him Alex and he's doing great. A few shots from the last couple of weeks below. All FA31.

Congrats Bickrs! The FA31 is somehow the perfect lens for candid baby photos.

@Philcozz love the framing of that one.

Thanks Bickrs!
Congrats on your new years day boy! Looks like your FA31 is getting a great work out
