Lovely. I can see no reason to delay my decision. Next week, Monday afternoon, I will hit the Pay Now button. Just have to get through a tricky lesson observation by the weird new(ish) head and all will be peachy!

thank you - I'm not sure what the rest of your statements are alluding to, but it sounds like you've reached a decision!

43 Ltd. Busy, I guess, and not everyone's cup o' tea, but it just does something for me.
I agree - I've always liked the bokeh on the 43 and wouldn't change it for the new HD version with more rounded aperture blades. Great photograph - really like it!

Lovely separation (in the image not the lens) from the BG. Beautiful.

Beautiful! This shot is just pure FA77. Damn I need to get the FA limiteds out. I just got an adaptor to try them on the Sony body and I can't wait to see if they shine there too.

My fa77 F/1.8 limited developed a crack in the main AF drive gear*, which caused the entire focus ring to seize up:




Fortunately, the entire assembly is able to be ordered in and I was able to restore the lens and now the focus ring turns smoothly once again.


Pentax KP - SMCP-FA77mm f/1.8 Limited.

* Which are made of what I take to be Brass: which is a bit perplexing as I thought the entire idea of using that metal was to avoid corrosion and cracking.
