I just pulled the trigger on one.....hasn't arrived yet.- The fact that it's another system and I have to learn at an intuitive level something different (not really an issue with the K-5).
Do you have one?
Amin....why are you ruling out the FA77? Just curious....I am looking at portrait lens options for this system and after poring over tons of samples, I've pretty much ruled out the 77/1.8.
HI Amin - presumably this means that you've finally collapsed in defeat!Rich, I just don't like the bokeh character wide open, and for me to spend that much on a fast lens, I need to like the bokeh character wide open. I know it is widely regarded as a "magical" lens with "creamy" bokeh, but after looking at 1000s of samples, I can tell it just isn't going to suit me.
I can live with the fact that it doesn't have the greatest edge sharpness or CA performance. In practice, I doubt that either of those would be issues for me.
Hi Jono, yes, I came clean here: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25188HI Amin - presumably this means that you've finally collapsed in defeat!
I've been having a similar decision issue over the lenses.
all the best
Lovely pictures Jim? Is that a freudian slip? :ROTFL:Lovely pictures Jim
I really like the first one, the third and fourth, and the upside down couple - excellent.
Well I picked the DA 70 F2.4 as my "orthogonal perspective"/ portrait lens. Picked over the others because it's a pancake lens, which means unusually small for what it does.Thanks for showing me someplace that is warm . We had some sun yesterday, but it was still cold.
Could you comment specifically on the 70/2.4? I am looking at portrait lens options for this system and after poring over tons of samples, I've pretty much ruled out the 77/1.8.
