Love the FA 31 limited. Just so smooth, great colors...

(only owned then lens six weeks and happened to go to aquarium during that time).

Awesome photos and what an awesome lens indeed, thanks for posting these. The 31 is my favorite lens and I will be doing some shooting with it on my KP and K1 mark 2 after I recover from my Total Hip Replacement. Should be end of May and first of June when I will be able to post some of them. If I had to choose one lens it would be the 31.

Love these, and the 31

So I was correct, I did need this lens. Here are a few of my favs from the last while since I purchased it.

"Paseo de los los civiles" is the name of one of the street of Madrid Royal Palace Gardens in Spain. I took the photo of the pinecone (the first photo of the serie) at the same gardens.

Yeah, but I'm pointing out the apparent typo, and wondering, why does it have two articles?
It's like "walkway", "promenade" or "passage of THE THE civilians".

Ok, I see it now, you are true, the article "los" is duplicated. It's only a mistake. Perhaps it has not been corrected yet after 150 years because some kind of historical circunstance.

The name of the garden is "Campo del Moro".

On the K1. The 31 gets less usage, but I do still enjoy using it when I can.

Water under the bridge is a great photo. The horse shot is quite good as well. I've not given my 31 a proper run yet but based on your photos I really should. Much better than what I've done with it so far.

Nice set CharLac.

**gatorguy** · 10-07-2019, 05:03 AM

OK, so the FA31 is going to be nailed to my K-70 for the remainder of the month. Perusing the thread shows it to be even more capable for a wide range of subjects than I had thought and I need to see how it works for me. Thanks everyone.
