I don't own it so I'm not commenting based upon experience but I've read a few threads on here & the other Pentax forum where it's been suggested that it's IQ is not as good as/or at best only equal to the DA 17-70, considering the price difference it could be a possible reason for it's apparent lack of popularity??

..........just shows how little they know

However I am perfectly happy for the lens to remain known only to connoisseurs

There is a risk of the competition turning into a mystery competition - i.e. what is it ? which I don't think is what David had in mind but I maybe wrong

But the FA31 is the lens to have - an FA77 or an FA43 (nice as they are) are just not the same.

I use my 31 as a walkabout lens much of the time.

Well a topic like this does require people to be able to get out and about

Having lost most of our snow, we now have freezing fog - can't see the end of the garden

The huge icicles dropping off our dormer windows onto the main roof kept us awake quite a bit last night

It is an awesome lens - permanently stuck on one of my bodies.

The whole point about it is publicity for Pentax.

As Mike suggests - probably worth buying as an investment.

I use one of the Seculine models.

Very versatile and sometimes available at a very good discount.

I agree - it was surprising.

Part way through, I decided to buy another copy for use at work.
