Latest Review Posted	SMC Pentax-FA 28mm F2.8 AL I've not had the FA28 long but I'm a little in love with it... I'd been watching this one on a 'Buy it Now' for a few weeks - It was put up a couple of times and each time the seller reduced the price slightly... I bid on another copy and missed out... Thought "what the hell!" and pulled the trigger on it... Lens is used but PRISTINE.... So I was instantly impressed... The focal length on my K-x is almost perfect... I tend to crop quite a lot but I'm finding it really easy to frame shots with this lens in a way that I don'tneed to crop at all It's considerably sharper at f2.8 than my tamron-17-50 is; and at the moment I can't see it coming off my K-x for a while... The AF is pretty quick but does hunt a little in lowlight... Gets there though... The colour that it produces is nothing more than stunning! I'm definitely getting a 'thing' for standard FA primes and tempted to sell all my DA/F/A/M and 3rd party lenses to help fund FA20-f2.8; FA35-f2; FA100 macro 2.8 I'm in love with my FA28
