I'll second that. 43 is an excellent lens, it's just that the optimum performance comes 'late' at f/8-f/11. The 77 is another story though, extremely sharp from wide opened, and even at close focusing distance. I wished Pentax makes something wider than 31mm and longer than 100mm Limited lenses. I'm not satisfied with the FA 24/2. Too much distortion, and sharpness could be better at wide f-stops.

Wow. I've never had any flare problems with my 43 Limited and I don't use the lens hood. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
