Maybe, but the DA14 is not spectacularly different from the various 15mm lenses. 1mm shorter, half a stop faster, a bit shorter but with a larger diameter. It is definately larger and heavier than the equivalent lenses, the A and FA 20/2.8. I'm fairly sure a DA35/1.4 would need to be 58mm thread, and would need to be asymmetrical, and therefore optically worse or more complex (or both) compared to a symmetrical 50mm. -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
