Good luck with that. I won’t be selling my FA* even after I get the DFA*

I hadn't talked to him lately didn't know this. I see a few shots in December with the Sony and a bunch in 2019 with Fuji.

His FA* 85 stopped auto-focusing. It's almost certainly the gear on the focus shaft cracking (see this thread for more info FA*85 1.4 Auto Focus Sound on K-1: Is this normal? - PentaxForums.com).

I'm pretty sure he said he still prefers the FA* 85's rendering, but he is being supported in shooting Sony.

Sony is sponsoring him?

Yeah, I bought the Sigma 85mm but did not and won't sell my FA77 … they are different.

No, I think a company he does work for gave him an A7III - but I could be wrong.

That makes more sense given the Fuji showing up also.
