Subject: FA100/2.8 Vs DFA100/2.8
Hi All,
I currently have the FA100/2.8 Macro, and it's a great lens. It is
however large and built like a tank. The DFA100/2.8 macro is small
and light.
My question to any who have experience with these lenses is, if I go
for small and light over large and built like a tank am I going to
lose out on image quality or be disappointed by build quality?
Or does anyone know if Pentax is planning on upgrading their macro
lenses any time to include weather sealing? I'd really like a weather
sealed 100mm macro lens.
Hi Leon,
I don't have experience with the FA 100/2.8 specifically, but I am quite
familiar with it's predecessor, the A100/2.8. While the optical formula is
different, both lenses are of the FREE design. On the DSLR, my much loved
A100/2.8 Macro is somewhat plagued by flare off the sensor. I'd be concerned
that the FA might have the same problem as it does share the rear element
trait.
