I'd have to totally 100% agree! If I had the money I'd definitely take those beauties off your hands!

SyncGuy · 12-10-2013, 01:09 AM

Oooops.... I think i need some Kleenex... :X

Then again, Ledo, why would you need a 16-50 and 50-135 because of "professional wedding"?

Just sell the 85/1.4 to fund a K3, along with the MX and M lenses for kicks, and you are set with the FA Trios, my friend...

Barbarosa · 12-10-2013, 02:14 AM

don't sell 31 you will need it for weddings, also 77, but 31 for group portraits is ...

kaipa · 12-10-2013, 04:42 AM

Wow! I remember this FA 77 at ebay (UK?) few years ago. Great collection. Good luck with your sale.

Thanks for your advice. Actually my friend is using FA 31 with K3 right now and it is not quick focus enough due to its screw drive design, he recommend me use DA* with SDM system, it much better with K3. I have Pentax LX with different Viewfinder already so I want to sell this MX.
I am still thinking about selling this Amigos because it's very hard to find another one like this, and I know I will regret so much after selling it, but... I don't know, haizzz

Barbarosa · 12-10-2013, 12:53 PM

My votes also goes to DA*s but You need something razor sharp at F2.0 or 2.8 and that are Limiteds that You already have, also DA*s are for flash use indoor at f5.6 when You can get incredible images, with great colors, contrast and details , but F1.8 can catch some natural light atmosphere, A* and voigtlanders are great lens but in wedding are less usable so let them go.

LFLee · 12-10-2013, 02:17 PM

I don't think you should sell the 3 FA ltds too, if you going into wedding, they will be useful. Especially the 77.

yeah I already have DA* 55 so I am fine at 1.4 or 1.8, thanks for your advice. A* and Voigtlander are incredible but I need to let them go because its MF in wedding as you say

My friend told me that those FA lenses focus not fast enough in wedding photos, last time I took wedding photos I use 16-50 and 50-135 so I don't know that focus by FA lenses is enough or not, honestly. Do you test it in wedding before?

Personally I don't think the DA* lenses that you mentioned is going to have faster AF than the FA ltds. Further, you will get a K-3, which I think will improve the AF on any lenses.
You just won't get the images that you can from the FA ltds with the DA*16-50 and DA*50-135.

I really think you should try them on K-3 and on several weddings before you sell them...

Barbarosa · 12-10-2013, 10:47 PM

Hmm, in my experience weddings are not drag races or hokey matches, and some images can be directed, also ppl at wedding expect to be photographed and don't mind if wait 2 sec in some position to be photographed nicely, but don't take me like measure I'm just a still life photographer who sometimes shoot weddings.
