Mr. UPS brought my new Pentax FA 35mm f/2 AL lens today. It has an equivalent field of view on my K10d of 52.5mm, making it the closest you can get to a real “fast fifty” FoV on a Pentax DSLR. This lens has been discontinued by Pentax so I figured I’d better snap one up while I could. I paid $330 from B&H with free shipping. Good thing I acted when I did because it’s now not even listed on their site any more…
I’ll be testing it over the next few days for my review. Here’s a shot of the kit (shot in my kitchen studio):
I’m really digging the lens hood (and thus planning a new center-pinch lens cap purchace).
