Tanya, as such, FA 77 is not suitable for close up work. Its MDF is
limiting (no pun intended). However, if instead of going after FA
100/2.8 macro you manage to put your hands on this
(http://www.techtheman.com/2008/06/cosinapentaxphoenixpromaster-11-matched.html),
it might as well make your day.

fa 100mm f2.8 macro or fa 77m f1.8 ltd
trying to decide between the two as I can’t afford both – do I want a
faster, smaller limited lens or a slower, larger lens with macro?
I don’t have a macro lens that I am happy with, BUT I really am loving using
my fa 50mm f1.7 as a “leave on the body all the time” lens right now, and am
thinking that the FA77mm would be awesome for this purpose with just a bit
more reach for portraits.
However, not sure if I would like the 0.7m minimum focus of the 77mm.
Decisions, decisions! What are your thoughts guys and gals?
