I would dearly love an FA77 f1.8 limited lens and keep an eye out for them on Ebay. In terms of quality and rendering, from photos I've seen on the net, the DA70 limited comes a distant second.
I found an ebay auction today here in Australia for an unused (the buyer says new, it's not) FA77 limited. The story is he ordered it and only received it in Feb. Now he's decided to sell it. Whether or not he's used it, he bought it retail and is now selling it, that makes it used. The auction has a couple of days to go and has no bids as yet...not surprising really, since the seller STARTED the auction at $1,100 AUD!!! That's bordering on criminal! Looks like I'll have to settle for a DA70 2.4 limited although they're also damn pricey. Much as I love my K10D, I hate what it and the K100 have done to used glass prices. :( James Messervy -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
