Waddesdon Manor Easter 2013

Took my recently purchased FA 31 out today. I've only been shooting for a couple of months. The kit far outweighs my technique, but i'm enjoying it...

The 31 really does render beautifully... I am slightly jealous...

I'd keep the 35mm-Ltd for the macro capability (if you haven't sold it already) lose the FA50 and the DA16-45 and pick up a D-FA100mmWR and a DA15...

Pretty nice collection you have going on though... LBA hasn't bitten you has it?!?!

Thanks David. Yes LBA has been an issue, although the FA Ltds seem to be curing that to some degree.
I am very pleased with the "pop" given in their rendering. I've not yet taken the 77 outside, but it looks promising.
Thanks for the lens collection advice too. The DA 15 was next in my mind actually and the 100 Macro looks very useful.
I can't see myself keeping the DA 35 Macro now though. As good as it is the 31 is likely to take it's place on my K-5 for walkabout duties. I love the 31, if I could keep only one lens it would be no contest!
