Together with your 3 silver FA limiteds
... wowIf I were just starting out, I would definitely try to get everything in silver.
OK, here are the LBA Poisons:
DA21 Limited, DA40 Limited, DA70 Limited, DA35 Silver
FA31 Limited Silver, FA43 Limited Silver, FA77 Limited Silver
:devil: :devil:
Love the chrome/silver finishes, but the colour just doesn't look the same as some of the earlier FA Ltds.
I can almost imagine the angel/devil speaking out loud -
*Angel*
It's still the same optical formula, isn't it? If the focal length, and the qualities it exudes works for your kind of photography, whether black or chrome/silver, it'll still produce the results you want from the lens.
*Devil*
But chrome/silver is sexy! It'll look so good with my Silver K5!
Having said that, the 21Ltd is hell of a lens when coupled with K2X onwards. With the K100D or K10D, I had so much problems with it, just cannot get the focusing right at all. When coupled with the later DSLR bodies from Pentax, it's got good resolution, good close up capabilities, extremely compact for street/travel photography. The f3.2 was a handicap back then, but with the latest sensors from K5, K-r, K-x, I'll not hesitate to pair it up with a 70mm Ltd for a extremely light travel setup.
If you don't already have a black one, the silver one looks really good!! I love to have 1 myself!
