I had the FA31/1.8 Limited too but wasn't anywhere near as fond of it as these other two lenses.

Works brilliantly on the K10D, with and without the Rear Converter-A 2x-S. With the Rear Converter, it achieves 1:1 macro with a good bit of working room, and the image quality is terrific. I'm willing to sell both of them..
