And I have used AF.S and center focus with matrix metering just like you. When I had my copy of DA 40, it was sharp and spot on in focusing.Hin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-62979372799233064192011-06-23T08:51:19.359-07:002011-06-23T08:51:19.359-07:00Hi, I have the same camera and lens, and I am wond...Hi, I have the same camera and lens, and I am wondering if you have ever have a problem with focusing.<br />When I was using the kit lens, focusing was never a problem. It always capture the right object.<br />However, when I switched to DA 40mm, it often can't focus on the right object when I use VF. <br />However, with the same setting, shutter speed, lighting etc, using LV was able to focus one the right object. <br />I'm wondering what kind of setting do you use... AF.S with Center-spot focus with Matrix AE metering? <br />Hope that you can shed some light on this situation! :)<br />Thank you so much~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-42508657166535805592010-03-15T20:34:19.654-07:002010-03-15T20:34:19.654-07:00I have just bought the DA40mm that will be paired ...I have just bought the DA40mm that will be paired with the K-x over the FA 50 due to the lack of supply for the FA 50 and the outrageous prices. Hopefully I will be able to get one of them later. As of now i will have the kit lens and the DA40. Would you recommend the 17-70 next? Hopefully I will stop after one or two primes and a nice "1 do all (sorta)" lens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-73168675967038809092010-03-15T18:44:04.926-07:002010-03-15T18:44:04.926-07:00It is difficult for me to choose DA 40mm f/2.8 ove...It is difficult for me to choose DA 40mm f/2.8 over the FA 50 f/1.4. I have both and not likely to trim one over the other. I use them for different purposes. I used the FA 50 for the low light and I use DA 40 for lightest and smallest in traveling. Color and bokeh are both nice and. It is easier to use the DA 40mm than the FA 50mm but the FA 50mm f/1.4 is full frame and film camera compatible. With the high iso shooting capability in K-x, I currently do favor more in using the DA 40 over the FA 50.Hin Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34648316.post-3485200495691834632010-03-14T18:59:01.031-07:002010-03-14T18:59:01.031-07:00How does the DA40 compare to the FA50?

I shoot film mainly, but if I had to go back to digital, I'd probably choose a K-x over all the other cameras out there, seems like a pretty decent performer.stehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12531913446332394086noreply@blogger.com
