If you upload it to your PU-gallery, we can see your exif data (I can't see it now, maybe someone else can?) but at a guess I'd agree with alfpics... Slow shutter (maybe camera movement also) caught motion blur and flash froze it...

You can joke HG, I invited a Goth along my self (Canon 350D user:blush, he got into photography a year or so ago, I thought he might like to try his hand at portraits, but he's busy that weekend.
Hardgravity is from Bradford so might not be joking as we have a permanent and fairly large contingent of friendly Goths here; rain, wind or snow.

They are typical Pentax primes, ie small, sharp and fantastic!
Still, when I meet up with Dave again, we might just do a comparision, if only in the interests of science......LOL
CaNikon users can't really subscribe to small wonderful primes, can they?.....LOL (God I sound like a fanboy........:wink
That is unless I sell the 28mm to fund the FA20-2.8... I just bought the FA35 (on its way from a Korean seller...) and FA20 would be a better fit with the FA50 and FA35...Ultimately who cares........

Although I could permenantly pair up the FA28 along with the F35-70 to my MZ-7 I suppose... And I'm more of a buyer than a seller anyway...

Don't suppose you have any side-by-side comparisons? The "FA" is a completely different optical design to the "F"
John
Are they simply different or is one comparably 'better'?
@ Offertonhatter... We should have done a test on Saturday! LOL!

I've seen a couple on ebay today that were willing to ship overseas in my search for the FA-f2-version (which I found )
I reckon there are some who get this lens to 'try' the focal length before commiting to the price of the Ltd-version... For myself the FF ability, speed (albeit not much faster) and aperture ring were of more importance...

I'd go 35mm focal length too... It is 'normal' so shouldn't give him many 'too-long' or 'too short' moments...
Ive literally just pulled the trigger on the FA35 f2 as I wanted something just a 'little' wider than the '50' myself... The FA only because I shoot a bit of film too (and Pentax might cave at some point and bring FF...)

I'd go for the 'A' version of whatever you chose... If you like her and don't mind spending a bit of cash, a 35mm would probably be a more usable focal length...
Although at the price A35's go at you could get an DA35mm-2.4...
I just got my 8 year old stepson a *istDS and a couple old FA-version kit zooms... Not going to bother with primes or MF for a while... Just letting him work/play at his own pace...
How old is your girl?
I reckon photography is a great way to spend time with them... Joe is an awesome kid and (only 2 trips so far as I'm in middle of final deadlines for uni) photography trips have been lots of fun for us both!

Does screw-drive AF work when using this?

When I can afford the FA20-2.8 & FA100-2.8 I shall post again...
Thanks all.
