FA43 lens test
Just arrived in the mail: the middle lens of the fabled Three Princesses (the Pentax FA31, FA43, FA77 Limiteds). It doesn't quite complete the set, as I don't plan to buy an FA77; I already have its older manual focus cousin, the A*85.
The first few shots with the FA43 give a positive impression. I like the rendering better than that of the FA50, at least. It might not have quite as much fairy dust as the FA31 or A*85, though time will tell.
