Boris, by eschewing DA Digital lenses, you are limiting yourself to only one option. What I discovered was that there just wasn't that many good wide angle options available to me if I stayed with full frame. Nothing wider than 15mm, and the A15 is a horse of a lens, nothing with AF wider than 20mm unless one wants the fisheye zoom, and from what I have read on list, the autofocus 20/2.8 is not as good as it could be on digital. I'm not buying into the conspiracy theory that Pentax will drop the small format sensor size as soon as they can in order to force lens sales, though I admit to the possibility that this might happen. If it does, I will have still gotten good use out of my DA lenses, and I anticipate they would still be useable on a larger sensor camera in much the same way Nikon has integrated small coverage lenses into their system. Has anyne else noticed that the DA lens mount still has a slot for the aperture simulator lever?
