Canon once made a f0.9.

I never said they were competent, after all the web site is probably run by the marketing department.

Interesting. No mention is made of the 40mm DA that I could see, and the
14mm is, if I read correctly, described as a zoom lens.

For someone who used to shoot with Nikon film cameras, and just got a Pentax *istDS, these signs of fumbling around are all a little disappointing. I want Pentax to be a stable supplier of high-quality 35mm-style DSLRs and quality lenses for a long time to come. I want them to be able to directly compete with Nikon and Canon. Killing the 50mm f1.4 makes me a little nervous. If they replace it with another f1.4 of better quality, that would be fine. If they come out with a high quality f1.0 replacement, that would be absolutely fantastic. (To my knowledge, only Leica has made an f1.0 so far, and it was for their rangefinder.)


take care,
Glen
