Is the FA 31 worth saving and waiting for?
Like many I find the K30/2.8 to be worth more than it is priced. My other lens of choice on digital i the A35/2. After that is the FA50/1.4. I'd like to shoot with a 31/1.8 just to compare the results with reality. (Anyone got one I can borrow/rent for a couple of weeks?)
