If the manufacturer lets you know what it was designed for (e.g. in
the promotional materials, on their web sites and in the booklet that
comes in the lens box), that's OK with me.
But if you have to buy the lens first then discover yourself what it
is good for (or not), it stinks.
Anyone ever seen any indication of what Pentax intended the limiteds
