Lol! It's not just the FA ltds which work well on FF. I found these shots taken with a M28/2.

And of course the M42 Taks are very popular too.

The current DA lenses need to cover an area than the APS-C sensor due to the Shake Reduction feature, which of course works by moving the sensor slightly relative to the body and lens. Thus they all cover a larger proportion of a 35mm film negative than one might otherwise imagine.
Isn't it then the sensor that needs to be slightly larger, because it's the bit which moves?

I think getting the imaging circle as tight as possible to the sensor isn't the no.1 priority of lens design, hence a few of the DA lenses happen to cover a larger area. But possibly not adequate for a FF camera. And others have simply been adapted from film-era designs, such as the DA35mm, which is better news for FF and film fans.

A night shoot would be an interesting idea (always feels a bit scary doing that on your own...) Or we could join ourselves onto a Birmingham Flickrmeet. A Pentax takeover!

And here was me thinking to myself 'why don't people just turn the filter the other way round?

Maybe this'll do better? Don't be put off by the title sounding like an embarrassing illness.

I keep meaning to go to the Birmingham Flickrmeet (2nd Sunday each month). So far, fate has conspired against me (or I have chickened out - take your pick...)

Now that's a camera.

Hmm, looks like the FA35/2 has made a reappearance again! I wonder if it's back in production, or if they found a corner of a warehouse full of them.

Quick tip on Windows Preview, which makes full size images look soft - zoom to a 100% view, then jump back again. Presto, the image is now sharp!

Keeping images sharp when resizing is something else. You really need to do an unsharp mask or use focus magic. The resizing process destroys sharpening halos.
