I didn't have time to test extensively on my D and even less so on my

The utility of this lens is that on a K-line body it gives exactly in

Hi Kostas,
I've heard less credible rumors on the DA55, but here's hoping it's
an f/2 or faster too!
That should be extremely straightforward:

Humm. Clitch at my end and part of my reply did not take.
I also got the feeling that it would take longer than 2 weeks, from
the tone of the email.
Henrys had several other orders, so i added my order to those,
thinking it might help speed things up, if there were a few people
wanting the lens.
Hi Mike.
I checked with Joe Todd of Camera Canada a while back, and receieved a
reply that one would have to be ordered and it would take two weeks.
That was back in November. I placed my order with Henrys here just
after that conversation

The Camera Canada site has been saying that (only one 77) for a couple

I don't understand the fascination with the FA77. They're good
lenses, but if you're going to be using a DSLR I feel the DA70 is a
better choice. Having worked with both, I prefer the DA70.
The FA43 has no direct equivalent yet for the DSLRs, closest thing
for the DSLR format is the

I had asked BH to alert me when they had a black FA 77 in stock, but I'm now

I haven't owned either of the two, but the fact that the FA77 is faster
then the DA70 has been a big argument for me.
One of the reasons I am considering buying an FA77 or one of the 85's
is that in addition to being a nice portrait lens on digital,
it can be used as a FAST short-tele.
