Some photos from SGB by FA*200/2.8 and VL 125/2.5 Macro

Got my FA200/2.8 (my second copy actually, regreted to sell the previous one, had to get one back ) on last Thursday, along w/ a friend's VL 125/2.5 macro lens. Did a two hours walk around at the SGB on Friday morning. Here are some photos to share w/ you guys.

hi, fengwei, wat is the result with 2x extender, compare to those long, but slow lenses?
thiking to get a fast 2.8 with the 2x exttender.

Oh yeah, FA200 is very well known for its smooth bokeh and colors produced. Another gem lens by Pentax

I've tested my previous FA200 w/ a Kenko AF 2x MC7 TC, the resutls were okay when stopped down some. But I much prefer using the lens along w/ the Pentax 1.7x AF TC, and the Tamron 1.4x TC. Didn't test it w/ any Pentax 2x TC, although I had a couple before ...

Amazing shots, Frank!

Fa 200 f2.8 seems to perform so well in your hands. I wonder if Da* 200 would be on the same par ...

Voigtlander macro seems to perform very well too - the fly shot is just beautiful

Thanks James The VL 125/2.5 macro is indeed a great lens. As to the new DA*200, I don't know if it's reach the market by next Spring, if at all. I'd rather having something to use right now instead of waiting for such a long time
