Thanks Dave, I now feel sorry for the DA14, it was supposed to be a thread about that lens not the 20-40

Hi Bruce Banner. That was an hulk post! Really useful to hear your in depth thoughts on 20-40 Ltd. I understand where you are coming from re WR and FF especially when you have the K1 you would like common lenses. I also second your thoughts that the FL on the lens is more useful on FF than on a crop sensor. The photogrpahs are stunning. Have you manage to use it for portraits at all? Thanks.

No not yet but it's on the to do list. I'll update this thread when I have something to show in that regard. Thanks for the kind words!

Finally had a chance to try out the HD DA 20-40 for portrait, here's a few;

23mm@2.8

23mm@2.8

33mm@f5

40mm@f5

26mm@f4.5

40mm@f4.5

36mm@f4
