FA 50mm 2.8 Macro. A damn good lens
Aug 4, 2010

My FA 50 macro has not been getting much play ever since I got the 35 limited, but today I had need of a little extra working distance so I busted it out. The photo below is from a handheld shot taken in a dark stairwell with the camera held over my head (bounce flash to the upper right), focusing with the k20d's primitive live view. It is a significant crop (almost to 100%), but the lens (and sensor) had resolution to spare. You can clearly make out the lenses of the compound eye if you expand the photo. I need to utilize this lens more.
