Could mean almost anything Derby, but I don't like seeing all these nice
lenses disappearing from shop shelves and product catalogues. It could
mean Pentax has ceased manufacturing the FA range of lenses (remember
they are over a decade old in the most part) all together. It could also
mean that Pentax intend to get out of 35mm FA lenses completely, or that
they are clearing inventory, or that they are going to replace the whole
FA lens line with DA lenses! Maybe some IS lenses as well...who knows. I
think we know Pentax is committed to DSLR production., but we have no
idea of their commitment to giving us decent lenses to put on those DSLR's.
Cheers

What is this I see? The old FA100/2.8 macro is now relegated to
special order, and replace in the standard line by a boxy looking
100mm f3.5? And it only does 1:2 magnification? This is progress???
(Obviously I'm a bit grumpy tonight. I apologies in advance. But
really, why is Pentax going backwards in their special lenses?)
