just starting to get the hang of the 31mm after having relied heavily on my F 50 1.7

A couple left overs from the Single in December challenge that never made it. With the FA31...

My niece, Havilah, with the FA 77.

Some more low light work with my favorite test model

she doesn't mind me posting these! First one is iso3200 and the second is 6400. This is probably as good as you're going to get with a crop sensor.

All with the 31.

Bonus shot! 1/20s f/1.8 @ 6400.

A few more from my first and only (so far) outing with the new 77mm (MIV). Taken during the melt of an ice storm just prior to Christmas.

Foot notes: In spite of the very challenging conditions I feel the lens did remarkably well. The foreground of the scenics were shot in very low contrast conditions (under a heavy white sky) while the background of the scenics and the individual close-ups were shot in extremely high contrast conditions against that same sky. Defringing (removal of purple fringing) in Lightroom required 0 (impressive), 3, 6 or 9 for some of the images of highest contrast backgrounds and the importance for it I would judge as relatively small to negligible. Unless noted otherwise, I left the colors untouched from the natural K-5 / lens combo contained in the RAW file.

(This image: Lightroom 'Direct Positive' to bring out the contrast a little more.)

(This image: Lightroom 'Auto' increased emphasis in the graduation of color within the leaf a little.)

A bit of a heavy crop as it was from about a mile away give or take. Not the lens at it's best but I like it anyway:

Well now. I've been slowly working my way through this thread for the past couple weeks. Leaning closer and closer to my screen and drooling just slightly more and I flip through the pages. There's nothing I can contribute yet but I aim on getting an FA Lmtd for my Spring/Summer lens purchase.

PS This thread has some interesting history locked away in here. Several births, one divorce and one trans-continental up-rooting due to work.
