Re: Pentax D FA lenses

[Dr. Shaun Canning]

Indeed, my FA 100mm macro is still in really good condition despite 
being dropped several times...(luck drops I suppose in that it didn't 
get banged up). I do agree with Pal's comments about the durability of 
the silver painted FA's though. Even the 200 FA* macro I just mortgaged 
my house for is still only a painted silver plastic barrel.

Cheers
Shaun

Really? I certainly think so. Whats more, they promise that the body is
durable. The FA's, and the silver FA*'s in particular, are awful when it comes
to durability against general wear. The FA* are just painted plastic. The
paint is even "soft".
   

You can't say until you actually use these D-FAs heavily for a year or so
:-)
