Like computers, it's pretty hard to predict what may be antiquated in a few years. I haven't seen a floppy drive in years. I bought my first screw-mount lenses in the late 60's, confident that they would be around a long time. Then Pentax went to bayonet. I switched to Nikon, figuring at least

I'm not sure what you mean, aside from the obvious fact that it has a wider FOV. I had the DA14 and sold it. I'm not much of a wide angle guy, although i just bought a K28 3.5 as a normal. The crop factor is a non-issue for me. On Mon, Nov 1, 2010 at 3:01 PM, Bob Sullivan rf.sulli...@gmail.com
