Perhaps Mary could be persuaded to use a K3-II or K1 to capture a portrait of her sister, since the Astro-Tracer is useful for Stellar photography.
Very good actually

Always better to use a first post on a forum to introduce oneself, only my opinion.

£1200!!!
What makes the new 50 so much better as to justify a three-fold difference in price vs the FA50?
Seriously though I would guess design and technology costs amount to a fair chunk of money whereas the FA lens has paid for itself many times over. I had the DA* 55mm for a while but hated it's af speed which is the slowest of any lens I have tried, manual focus was a lot quicker.
I could be tempted by this one but it would need to come down a fair bit as it would have very limited use where I am concerned. The only 50mm I have now is the FA 1.7

To celebrate I am reducing my asking price to £1000 plus postage.

And apparently there is a FF teleconverter in the pipeline.

So to begin with here is my Pentax K-1 for sale. It is in very good condition, has a little wear on the hotshoe and tripod mounts plus a very faint scratch on the body where a built in flash would normally go. It has done under 4K shots, has a good quality glass screen protector on and comes boxed with all the contents.
I also have an original grip if required
Unfortunately I cannot do photos atm as I am in hospital with my son, have been here nearly 2 weeks and am likely to be here at least another 10 days but if anyone is interested enough to buy then I can go home to post it.
I am looking for £1100 plus postage for the body and £150 for the grip
