Well it is the edge and corners where the sharpness is most questionable...

I have only used the M 2.8/40 for some *ist D shots, but I have not found anything wrong with the image quality. In my eyes, what it lacks compared to a 1.4/50 does not really show up on *ist D images.
Otherwise, I am equally disappointed that so far Pentax have not shown a DA 1.7/28 or the like.

Zitat von Arnold Stark <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
I really wonder whether it is the same or a very similar optical formula as in the M40/f2.8. If so, the image circle should be large enough to cover the full frame. No need or even no way to scale it down.
However, the lack of an aperture ring makes the DA40/f2.8 really "limited" in its abilities and absolutely unattractive for me. I'll stick to the original M40/f2.8 and to the FA43/f1.9.

virtually no R&D money into the project (assuming they're re-using the old M
40/2.8 optical formula and just scaling it down to a smaller image circle).
They've obviously been paying attention to the selling prices of theold
M40/2.8 on eBay.
