FA 31 on K-1 ... any examples?

Conqueror · 12-05-2016, 08:07 AM

FA 31mm anyone willing to share some shots from it on K-1?

Interested to see how it is on the K-1, particularly interested in low light examples...

thanks

I don't really have any thing like that -- just landscape shots.

At f8

f11

f16

Probably my fav lens on the k-1. Don't have many low light examples though.

Check the Single In Challenge postings for December. A few members of the group are using the FA 31 this month. I'm in with it on the K-S2 but at least one is using the K-1

If you visit the last page of the FA Limited Club page and work your way back you'll see some nice shots using the 31 and K1 (and also many shots taken with the 77 and the 43). I've enjoyed looking these pages over during the last couple of days as I impatiently wait for a FA31 to arrive on my doorstep this Thursday - can't wait to try it out.

I'm using the FA31 as my "Single In" lens for the month of December. The theme for the month is bokeh, so I'll be using it wide open a lot.

Album link HERE.

This was taken a couple of days too early for Bokehcember.

And an earlier favourite from a recent overseas trip.

Just don't know why you're waiting, Conqueror. In the time it took you to type that OP, you could have already bought it online.

Yep. A genuine no-brainer.
