There are many great portrait lenses in the photography marketplace ,but few of them is just like an artwork,fortunately,the FA77 is one of those which have a perfect combination of fine compacted workmanship and decent IQ

The AF performance in low light situations of Pentax has been a weakness for a long time,it's relevant to many factors including algorithms and components comprehensive performance,however IMO,it nearly has nothing to do with sensor size.

yep,18 points AF system is great,it's a time for pentax to apply higher-grade AF system in flag body,anyway,many users evaluate AF capability according to the number of AF points.In fact,the number of AF points have been indeed a symbol to distinguish different cameras in canon and nikon

The FA*2870 2.8 has been discontinued for 6 years,it's rare,furthermore the original manufacture lens is always more expensive than 3rd party lens.IMHO,there are some speculation behaviour about old version great lens because they are still not updated for DSLR.As you know,pentax have so many great lenses in 80s/90s.

it's not a good idea for pentax to insist on aps-c roadmap,i have seen many pentax users switch to canon&nikon for FF.There are so many guys who were tempted with FF sensor,pentax should not ignore them

Improved AF performance is more significant,i don't care about the high iso capability since i would use the tripod when i need perfect 100% zoom image quality.

Pentax still needs to improve the AF speed in situation of low light,at the same time,add the number of AF points,most of people prefer more AF points such as nikon 51 points AF system.It's necessary to apply it in the high-end models

agreed.most of people choosed the cameras according to the specs and function,the higher of the specs the better,the more numerous function the better even they would not ever use it in future until they upgraded another camera.

IMO,the color rendering of Pentax lens is a unique feature comparing with Canon and Nikon,however the body of pentax camera have no obvious strength,even more slow AF speed in low light situation,so in general i recommand itself lens for pentax body.

The mirrorless(NEX) camera sells like hot cakes,hoya needs to release new camera as soon as possible,otherwise the sales prospection of this year is no optimistical.With the coming of NEX,the compact advantage of pentax DSLR/lens would be weakened,so a new increase point have to be found to stimulate pentaxians for Hoya.

Everytime pentax releases a high-end aps-c lens,customers always compare it to corresponding FF lens.Actually,some of my friends would rather purchase FF lens with much higher price than aps-c lens.They think the FF is the tendency for future,so they are not used to the high price of aps-c lens,even it's distinctly cheaper than FF lens

i guess that pentax will still stay silent to FF at Photokina,maybe they think the FF system have not profit enough to support manufacture for pentax.The sales of Sony A850/900 are not that good,but Sony have cash flow enough to support it,however,it's difficult for Hoya to do that.

exactly,internal focus is not equivalent with internal zoom.

IMHO,in the aps system,FA31+A50 1.2 is a good combo
