With a camera that captures RAW format files, it's irrelevant which
white balance setting you use. If you're capturing in JPEG format, it
could make a difference as it will bias the in-camera RAW conversion.

Since you have the FA 20-35, you could get the 14/2.8 and take only
one body. If you need wider than the 20, use the 14.
Howdy, crew!
Who has the FA50/2.8 macro? What do you like/dislike? Compared to
other macro lenses you've tried? Any opinions on using it for
portraiture on a digital body?
Thanks!

OK, that's what I thought, but the camera fires even when there's nothing
in focus. Is there a menu item that has to be set?

Hello Jim,
Does he work on lenses?
I've never asked Eric to work on a lens for me; I'm able to get most
lens repairs done locally or I send them to Pentax. I believe that
he does fix lenses, though. You might want to check with him at:
You shouldn't have to set a menu item. And if it's set on autofocus, it
shouldn't fire until something is in focus. You would want to use
selective focus. If it's on multipoint, it will find something in focus
other than the subject.
