would you sell without the lens?

if so what would the price be?

Yeah its a monster, the few user reviews on the US site suggest (in the dedicated reviews section) they are quite happy with it

The negatives vs FA 31mm seem to be size/bokeh as far as I can tell

So are we going to see:

FA 31mm WR HD limited
FA 43mm WR HD limited
FA 77mm WR HD limited



An FA 43mm with WR... thats a lot of punch in a small package

Yes still a lot of money.

But this is the possibly the best price for this lens.

£1079

The lens did seem to get a hammering from some quarters.. but there is a real world user photo thread somewhere on the US forum and the results didnt look that bad IMO

The price does seem steep... but depends how you look at it... if it was your "go to" lens.. perhaps it is fully justified

What would you do with you 31mm if you had the 20-40mm? Would you still use it sometimes for the superior IQ at that focal length?

If its good / not distorted, it might make a decent night sky lens

As you may have guessed, size and weight is my biggest concern, but if you're considering the 50-135mm then that's unlikely to be your issue.
Yes just looking at the 50-135mm specs it is a bit bigger than I thought. Its quite a significant size.
