Welcome to the forum Richard.

Hello Richard and welcome to the forum.
I have the same dilemma as Clarky dithering between the DA35 and FA31 Limiteds. Still, it's nice to have lenses to aspire to so I'm not complaining!

Welcome to the gang and enjoy your kit (and the wonderful world of LBA).
I have yet to get a Ltd. Thinking about getting the 43 first.
Cheers, Kris.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Thought I'd better introduce myself. I'm Richard and I live in West Sussex, UK. I bought my first DSLR in April 2008 - a K200D. Since then I've bought some old lenses on ebay of which the M50/1.7 is my favourite - I couldn't believe the difference when I first looked at the photos from it! I got a DA50-200 for my birthday. Now I'm looking to get the DA35/2.8 macro but it's the most I will ever have spent on a lens so I have been hesitant - need to take advantage of the cashback offer so must decide quickly though. I like the macro capability and the fact it can act as a 'normal' lens as well. It seems to be liked by everyone who has it too.
Before my Pentax I used a Minolta X300 for 25 years.
Anyway, that's all for now.
Cheers,
Richard.
