3 B&W from the Sydney Australia Day CARnivale, with K50 1.2, all wide open(can't help playing with new toy :P)

Taken with the FA31 at last Friday's Big Day Out festival in Adelaide.
Wide open, ISO 3200. The AF works.

I need an FA 31 in my life...

Maybe after taxes.

I am convinced everyone does. I have been using mine every day this month as my "Single In" challenge lens, and it has given me a real appreciation for its qualities. It works brilliantly on the Q as well. I would really love to see how it performs at its full angle of view, but I'm too impatient to shoot film now

Nick, nice work, I enjoy your PP. Which app do you use ? Would you be willing to tell us anything about your workflow ?

Just wanted to share some photos I took with the DA 155mm ltd and the K-01. Thread is cross posted with 'Post your photos!' but I love the K-01, it opens a window to creativity using the screen instead of an OVF. Any critique or comments welcome. Enjoy!

Anyone else have suggestions for sharp Telephoto lenses that work well with the K-01 and are affordable?

It doesn't look like anyone suggested anything but the DA 55-300mm has gotten really good reviews here on the forum, the DA* 60-250mm has been clowly climbing to the top of my LBA list but it doesn't meet the affordable criteria.

I would definitley second the DA 55-300 idea. It is probably the best, cheap option out there. 60-250 and DA * 300 are both four to five times as expensive, but on a different quality level. I usually use the 55-300 stopped down to f8 and it is pretty good at that level. Auto focus is a little problematic on the K-01 though, tends to wind back and forth quite a bit through the focus throw to get where it is going.

I never play DSLR cameras before buy/learn using this K-01 with 40mm.
