So, after thinking a lot, and more importantly, after going out to

Thanks Bob... The idea of the 20-40 was really nice, but the 31 seems
like it will be superb.
Does the focusing ring allow you to move it with the camera on AF?

No, the FA31 is an older screw drive AF lens and you don't have the
modern convenience of touching-up the focus.
I've pretty much lived on the AF results as is.

The only thing I don't like about the 31mm is the fixed lens hood, (I've
only handled one once so maybe it's not a bit problem, but), it seems
that might be problematic when it's used on an APS-C sensor camera.

I had the 31 Limited for a while and wasn't very enamored of it. I didn't think
it worked so well for the size of the premium over the 35/2. And it is darn

With that I would ask how format could be any concern. 24Mp on APS-C

All I can say is that the K-3 image quality is terrific. I suspect it would
equal the 60D, although the sensor wouldn't be as large. (Both cameras shoot a
full frame:-). The autofocus of the K-3 is much improved over the K-5, but I
don't know that it's the equal of Canon.

Few random idea, Juan, if I may.

it stands to reason that currently there're further discounts.
