SMC Pentax-FA 31mm f/1.8 AL Limited Lens

This is the widest of the three Pentax FA Limited lenses, all of which were designed for use on film cameras. They are hand assembled to the highest standards in high grade aluminium and expected to have optical performance of the highest order. This is well recorded as having been well achieved for film cameras, but now we shall look at how these designs fare with the current demands of the APS-C sensor. This first test is the 31mm, a 35mm-equivalent of 46.5mm, a wide standard lens on DSLRs.
