Of all fast Pentax lenses I've own the only ones clearly better wide open than the 43mm are the two other Limiteds. > By Pentax standards the 43mm is very good wide open. And lets face it, Pentax lenses are known for being damn good except wide open. In this respect the 43mm follows Pentax tradition whereas the two other Limited lenses are atypical. The 31 and 77 both pleasantly surprised me with their open aperture performance. I had gotten quite used to having to stop down a bit to get the best out of my lenses William Robb
