I have three shots in my Pentaxium thread, all with the FA43. Here is my favourite.

(As usual, click through for Flickr.)

What a great shot of a very tough subject!! You managed to get the "feel" of the finish and quality of those pieces. Excellent shot for sure!

+1...isn't it almost scary a lens can actually do this

IMO, that rendering is the specialty of the FA77, that no other can.

Nah, sell it--you're too good a photographer to need the crutch of great lenses.

Great photos. Number 6 is somehow especially amazing!
