The 77 is a terrific lens, and is well known. The DA70 is still an unknown quantity for most, I think. I expect I will end up with a 70 at some point, but I don't think I'll be letting my 77 go anytime soon either. > > The FA43 has no direct equivalent yet for the DSLRs, closest thing > for the DSLR format is the FA28/2.8 AL. I wish they'd make a DA28/2 > Limited. You and the DA28/2 is starting to sound like JCO and the aperture simulator..... <G> Except you sound like an educated person. The DA40/2.8 is a nice little lens, though it is really too slow and too small. They should really have gone for an f/2ish aperture instead. It would have made the lens more functional.
