FA31 is the main reason make me pentaxian for ever. this lens has a special character!
also the k 50 f 1.2 what a lens!!

Yup. The FA 31mm Limited and the K 50 f/1.2 are my second and third favorite lenses, respectively. My favorite lens is the FA 77mm Limited.

A friend is in Hong Kong this week trying to find me an A* 85mm f/1.4 and an A* 135mm f/1.8. Things of rarity.

A Crisp Fall day in Iowa
FA 43

Was on a business trip, when I found out that there was a tattoo convention a few blocks from my hotel, so I just sort of wandered in:

FA31:

FA77:

Both on a K7.

I've since moved away from shooting with a DSLR system, but if a compact K-mount FF ever materializes, I'd grab these 2 lenses in a heart beat.

Cheers.

Thanks! No I was in Cebu for a large conference and we had the privilege of a large demonstration of different dances from the region. These girls were backstage when I asked to take their photo. They were actually thrilled but I believe the dance may be death/mourning related so they quickly assumed this pose/expressions

Pentax primes make a photo scene go from ordinary to extra-ordinary when used with the right photographer.

I have a dozen or so lenses and really only use the 31mm and 77mm now, sometimes the K 50 f/1.2 for low light.

Nothing I've found that compares to those Limiteds. Pentaxians could save a lot of money overall by just getting the 31 and the 77 and not bothering with anything else.

I think you have a point there Parry. Good advice. 2 great lenses and you're good to go.

I am using the FA 43, DA 21 combo because as you know the FA 43 is the least expensive of the 3 amigo's. I bought mine new for $584. The 21 I purchased used for $325. I also have a DA*50-135 I couldn't pass up because of the price. Otherwise had I been starting out I would purchase the 31 & 77 as you suggested.
