FA 31 is the hardest in a portrait, but it has a lot of potential because is wide angle and fast lens. Image is more powerful and this beautiful bokeh, I love it all ready.

@BruceBanner FA77 is a beautiful lens, very sharp and the bokeh is outstanding, hope you enjoy the lens 😀

I have plenty of nice portraits shot with the 77mm Limited, but I can't post them for privacy reasons.
In this one the child is not identifiable, so I decided to post it to show how contrasty and saturated the 77mm can be, with the right lighting conditions.

NO PP.

Yep those colours and saturation and contrast all came from within the lens, that's not post processing!

When spot focus really works with the small cross type AF points, it is a beautiful thing... this FA77 thing is growing on me too.

Lovely shot.

Eric, your macro bee shot's (with the 77) are great as well, for some reason PF won't let me quote you for this post :/
