They need to be very careful about showing the correct size
of the camera in any advertising in the UK at least... otherwise
they will have the ASA after them just like DFS did with
sofa sizes .......

It's not on the UK site...... they have the camera
with a very small cup of tea

I'm surprised that no one has noticed that the camera that she
is holding is just a cut and paste of the one at the bottom of
the page

They didn't even bother photographing the K-S1 to
match the compact they removed

The best advice I can offer is to take this highly advanced online wedding photography test and if you pass in the words of the master...... You .......

"will get a beautiful certificate which pretty much guarantees the highest standards of photo perfection available in civilised society. Rest easy in the knowledge that their biggest ever memories will be safely recorded."

I agree with you oh Monk of Darkness

btw £99 for that lens is ridiculous. I wouldn't pay more than £40 for one. I have all the other A 50s
Ha! Ha! That't Funnee!

One of the best lenses ever made and it's not worth £99
If Zeiss made it it would have a £3,000 price tag.

I've got the 'A' and 'FA' versions and they are very similar....
Both razor sharp at f/2.8 and don't really need stopping down.
If I knew I had to use a MF lens and be restricted to f/2.8
the 'A' is the one I'd choose. Best touch/feely/smooth focusing of any
lens. Great for slide/document copying.

Yoshihiko Takinami got 110 lpmm at f/8 out of the FA
'A' is the same and possibly slightly better wide open.

Catch in focus works great with it..... this was just a test
at f/2.8 and 1/30th CIF..... i.e camera moving and slow shutter
so some shake...... FF slightly so I changed the menu adjustment.

100% Crop K-5 from JPG No sharpening

Also excellent at infinity.

The camera can't see it because it can't read the label on the
side of the battery

The batteries inside will probably be the same mAh as the
genuine one, so shouldn't cause a problem
