FAJ 18-35

[Joseph Tainter]

From the photos, this lens apparently has a distance scale (but, as we 
know, no aperture ring). The presence of the distance scale makes me 
think that perhaps some of the FAJ lenses are intended for semi-serious 
to serious users. I had thought it inane that Pentax would introduce a 
camera aimed at serious users -- the *ist D -- and bundle it with a lens 
designed only for point-and-shooters.

Still trying to understand Pentax's strategy. Is it possible that there 
isn't a coherent strategy, and that's why we can't discern it?
