They say that the shortest measurable time interval is between the lights turning green and the guy behind hooting his horn. I've worked out that the longest measurable time interval is between ordering a lens from NY on a Friday before a long weekend and its delivery in Melbourne.

It will take me a while to produce an image that is worthy of being posted to this great thread...

Nonsense. I've already seen some excellent shots from you. The FA Ltds. can only further that.

Nonsense, indeed. Walk around with it for 30 minutes or so in good light and I guarantee you'll come back with some keepers. Hint: don't be afraid to use it wide open

i got the FA31 yesterday and the very first pic i shot in the backyard just made me fall in love with this lens...this is wide open (f/1.8), some resize sharpening but no color nor contrast adjustments applied...this is a seriously good lens.

Love at first click, eh? I'd say we're seeing some 3d here
