| Originally posted by NZ_Ross Yes, that is it - FA77 Limited voted best Pentax lens ever The FA77/1.8 was the first Limited I wanted and it is a cracker of a lens fully deserving of a podium finish, but I have always been impressed with the FA 31/1.8 and since owning a copy I'm completely sold on it. I think in terms of the feat the FA 31/1.8 designers accomplished with the sharpness and buttery smooth bokeh of this wide-angle(!) lens, it should have been acknowledged with the first place. I also think that 77mm is too long on APS-C. Don't quite understand the tournament result, in other words. However, I'm glad to see that so many forum members also value the FA Limited heritage and hope Pentax will be able to steer to similar shores in the future. | |

well put Grashopper though question too long... fit for purpose is the issue some poor sod wailed 'what about the DA15 ' early in the thread Originally posted by Class A I don't think the forum got that right.
