Greetings, all--- Today, I enabled myself with the Pentax smc FA 100mm 2.8 macro lens. Funny thing is, it happened kind of by accident... I thought I was purchasing the DFA 100mm 2.8 macro (the non-WR version), but it turns out I overlooked the missing "D" when I placed my order. Whoops.
Anyway, I picked it up to use for some jewelry shots I'm doing for a client. When I saw that it wasn't what I had in mind, I wasn't sure... it has a kind of funky look to it, with a deeply recessed lens. But -- I'm really liking it so far. The images are sharp, and the AF is fast. I think this could be the start of a very nice relationship... What I wonder is this: what am I missing out on because of my shopping cart mix-up? (Besides the price difference...) I'm not sure I understand the difference between the DFA & FA designations... Are there other features of either lens that I should consider before I declare this one a keeper?
