Does this mean it's identical optically to my SMC-M 40mm f2.8, so I can save a
fortune buying the new one?

Second, Margus Mannik's observation of no DA 40mm vignetting through the
PZ-1p viewfinder is also terrific. Several have posted that the DA lenses
throw only an APS-size image circle, but I can't see any reason why that's the
case. The DA 40mm objective element is exactly the same size as the original
pancake, and the entire lens formulation is probably similar. Why would it
throw a smaller circle?
What I'm getting at is whether the lens will work on the other Pentax
bodies despite being advertised as exclusive to the *ist bodies. Maybe Pentax
is just trying to avoid sales competition with the 43 ltd.????????? Margus,
can you post one of your shots with that nice DA 40mm lens?
