So the close of another month; I’m quite chuffed that I’ve managed three months in a row - probably not achievable without the “help” of covid-19 and working from home tbh.
Anyway - the lens. I singled the A20 back in 2015 on the K-3; I decided then it was a keeper and have used it ever since. With the news of the D FA 21mm I thought it only fair to single the A20 on the K-1 as a concentrated work-out.
Once again the lens has performed exceedingly well. It is sharp as needs be from f8 across the frame and, for close up work, f2.8-4 isolates the subject well with pleasing bokeh. Colours are rendered faithfully whether you are in bright sunshine or shooting in the rain.
The lens is simple to use, smooth to focus and the body is a nice size to hold - very close to the FA31 or K24/3.5. Unless I see something really special from the new lens I can see no reason to part with the A20 (- but then it will be a Limited 😊 - both ? 😂
In brief summary - whether you use APSC or FF this lens is a very worthy addition to anyones collection of lenses.
Favourite images to demonstrate the above points:
