As per title, looking for a FA 31mm Ltd in black, prefer Japan, cased. I have a FA* 85mm f/1.4 cased, cosmetically mint, c/w hood, one minor technical issue.

Don't need a hood or caps, must be working and cheap.

Was this the swap for DA 15mm by any chance?

PM incoming.

The first was taken with the K30 f2.8 (well done Bjørn) and a needle and thread applied to the results. The second the DA15 (at f16). Can't tell you what the aperture was on the K.

The DA 15mm runs into difraction at f/11, better to stick with f/5.6-f/8 if possible, from the comments I would imagine the K was used around it's optimum aperture. Hardly a fair test IMHO.

I've always found the Cosina to have a harsher more nervous OoF rendering than either the K or A series Pentax lenses, depending on the subject matter.

Sure, can do! Do you have one you don't need?

I wish, still looking for one at the right price.

I thought you were only comparing MF lenses... You might need get one of these

£269.99 !!!!!

Using Live view and magnifier = £0.00

Just buy a s/h magnifier M for £10 or so, works fine on the DSLR's and better built

So what gives with the current craze for K series lenses? Are we all expecting a FF DSLR? Or is it just the build quality?
