I agree Shel. Pentax lenses are a good investment especually if you are
shooting film and digital. I have the 20 2.8A lens and I love it.

somewhat
of an exception, as their focus feel (and focusing ring) are
acceptable.
Plus, the difference in price between a used 20mm A and a new 20mm FA
is
about $100.00 - $200.00, money which I could put to better use than
giving
to B&H for an FA version.
I'm not giving up film for digital, so wherever possible, a lens that
will
serve me well on film and the digi camera is very desireable.

Don' take it as criticism but why?
I use both mf and af with the 20-35, 14, and 35 a lot. AF is often
quite
useful w these focal lengths as well as fast & accurate. Very easy to
zone
focus too. I am not sure I understand the reason behind your
preference.

For this particular focal length, as well as some others, I much
prefer
manual focus.
