IMO if Pentax still prodoces FA Limited (well at least it is in their catalog) when they also sell DA Limited is obvious: DA Limited arent's supposed to replace FA Limited.
FA LImited are Limited because of their quality and speed. DA Limited are Limited because of their quality, size and speed. Obviously Pentax wanna show what they can do producing very compact lenses. Pentax still could introduce of so they want other Limityed lenses (even DA ones) which are not Limited because of their pancakes style but ony by their speed and quality. Who knows? As long as Pentax doesn't stop selling FA Limited nobody should state the DA ones replace the FA ones. Also, about the price of the 21 Limited: you're paying for the size! If it doesn't suit you (which is of course you right) you can disagree but it is a Small and good (it seems from the first impressions) 21mm. Could have been F/4. We are lucky enough it is F/3.2. Just my 2 cents of course. ---------------------- Thibault Massart aka Thibouille ---------------------- *ist-D,Z1,SFXn,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ;) ... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
