Very nice results.

OK, final one for now, f/8 on K10D - any guesses on where this was taken?

Oh, and yes, there was a pol-filter involved.

Not too bad as a portrait lens.

A fine little prime in all aspects. It is as good as all the reviews say it is, and the results never cease to impress:

some of my samples... just got the lens few weeks ago.
-4th down is wide open F1.9 indoor with no flash

K20D, 43ltd, f5.6. 1/80th, ISO100

I feel like getting out a pipe wrench and taking something apart when I look at this one.

Far above Cayuga's waters... Ah, looking at that slope brings back memories of trudging up them freshman year, in the cold and snowy weather. Congrats on the new lens, I'm sure you'll love it!

This thread is starting exhibit the same broken link probs as the original so I'll add a few of my own... It has slowly become arguably my most-used lens, and in my top-3 favorites. Once you get past the idea that it's *almost* one sort of lens or *almost* another, you realize that it is all them to an extent and to me that is where it's power lies. The fact that it's sharp as nails, renders gorgeously and smaller than any other lens I own is just gravy on the meal.

... wanted to post one more from the K3 with FA 43mm Limited, a shot of another fantastic combination in the Pentax heritage, with a long and wonderful quote from Pioneer here on the Forums from 2 or 3 years ago.
