just recieved the FA43! Can't wait to use it after viewing all the great shots here

Chex · 03-09-2011, 09:01 PM

Yeah that's some PP work, her hair is more copper tones. I just loved the vibrancy I brought out in the highlights, so they stayed.

Who said Pentax cameras did not handled red very well. Beautiful little girl by the way.

My wife and kids today in the park, all FA77

My God I love that lens!

Wow, your sons have an incredible resemblance to their mother!

Wonderful shots - I like #s 4 and 9, especially.

Nice shot, did you have a UV filter or Polarizer available? Sure the smog is more realistic, but cities sure look nicer without it

My LBA is worst with the FA limiteds.
I have always wondered about the macro FA limited question: can you avoid needing a macro lens by reversing a 43 on a 77? Does it retain any IQ?

Don't we all love the orange sunset light with some good bokeh?

I havent tried it myself, but i would expect it would work very well, i have the reverse ring in the right size to join them so one day i will test it out. Those 2 together would give a macro ratio of 1.7:1
With the 77 by itself can get some good close ups too.

Yes the golden hour is the best time for portraits

Thanks Chex, yes the FA 43 ltd has its UV filter. I will try to shoot another photo without it
