How does the FA 31 mm f/1.8 AL Limited perform
It is a pretty sharp lens corners to corners wide open, signfiicantly sharper than the FA*24. One stop down it is super sharp. Although it is not a fair comparsion, but it is the sharpest lens I have owned so far. Quite possible one of the sharpest Pentax 135 lenses too.
and is it worth buying at $860.00 US.
Probably not when FA28/2.8 & FA35/2 are a lot cheaper, but heck, do you really care when you just wanted one? :-)
