Dunno, the DA Limiteds remind me a lot of the M series. I'm really impressed with the build and size, and of course the clutch thingamajig.
The FA Limiteds are gorgeous, but I'd say the DA ones are even nicer. I don't really think I'll shoot much or any 35mm film from now on, so the lack of an aperture ring and the digital-only coverage don't bother me in the slightest. Hell, I hadn't shot any 35mm film in nearly a year BEFORE I bought the DS2. I'm glad I never got around to selling most of my 35mm lenses. -Aaron -----Original Message----- From: David Savage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subj: Re: SV: 21mm limitted is a jewel ...
