Hi gang
I have just got my first roll back shot with both the 43 and 77mm limteds
and all i can say is the images are just surperb- there is a warmness to
sunsets that wasnot there before and detail captured is amazing
Flare is non existant even shooting into the sun.. About the 43mm being less
sharp than the 50's well i rarely shoot at 1.7 or even 2.8 however at 5.6
and onwards it rips out my eyes. It and the 77 just grab details from the
background that i have never seen before almost medium format like. I was
also shooting with a Tokina 28=70mm ATX pro 2.6-2.8 and 24-90mm Pentax
(flares pretty badly but is sharp and contrasty just doesnot have the image
detail of the 77mm) i could clearly could see a difference on prints back
from the lab. A word on the 20mm FA I am a little disapointed the images
seem flat compared to the 43mm. Also for those who warned me away from the
tamron 14mm it is a keeper, images i have taken were sharper at the centre
than the 20mm FA and flare was well controlled. Images displayed a warmth
similar to the 43mm but without the same crisp detail. Hopefully images will
be up soon
