Pentax FA 31mm f/1.8 AL Limited samples

I ordered the "Ltd Trio" (31/43/77) while there are good sale offers on in the UK as I wanted a lightweight alternative to my 24-70 and I have been putting the 31 and 43 through their paces.

I've wanted a 31mm for a long time and I can certainly say it hasn't disappointed, its almost certain to be welded onto my K1 when I go off on my travels to Prague in February!

I had read a few mixed things about the 43mm on the K1 but so far I can't help but be impressed by what is a tiny bit of kit!

Filter holder for 31mm Limited?

Peter,

I purchased a filter adapter tube which basically screws onto the 58mm thread and extends it - like this (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003B3DZ3M/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

This allows me to then use a step up ring to attach this to the larger adapters for my Lee SW150 holder although it does result in significant vignetting unfortunately.
I may pick up a couple of slim circular 58mm for this lens, although I have considered selling it and just picking up the FA35/2 as stopped down its meant to be very good on the K1 and doesn't have the same filter issues!

I spent a long weekend in Prague a few weeks ago giving the K1 its first proper workout, it didn't let me down!

Didn't see a dedicated thread for this one but given the interest in wide angle options for the Pentax K1 I thought it was worth starting.

I don't go wide an awful lot so picked this up for a fraction of the cost of the much larger, heavier and expensive new "Pentax 15-30 f2.8" lens.

Initial impressions are that the lens is good for the cost, I'm sure that the 15-30 is probably better but I don't believe its worth the cost for me as I don't shoot ultra wide that often.

Couple of shots from me taken in East Lothian, Scotland with the K1 on a grey January day!

A three year cycle isn't strange for a non-resource restrained company. Nikon and Canon tend to stick to a 3 year (and longer) cycle for their updated full frame DSLR's.
At this point the technology seems to have effectively plateau anyway in the DSLR market which hopefully will give Pentax a chance to catch-up in those areas where the K1 is still lacking a little behind the direct Nikon and Canon competition such as AF.
