Well, yes, it was the direct replacement for that lens in Pentax's product line. >but I really think the conceptual replacement for that is the M 50/2. The M50/2.0 was their replacement for the K 55/2.0. That the K55/1.8 and K55/2.0 were essentially the same lens internally doesn't affect their pricing or place in the product line. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
