Size is the reason for the 15/4, looking at what Pentax showed, the 15/4 is significantly smaller than the DA 14, let alone the 12-24. It looks to be comparable in size to the bloody tiny SMC-M 20/4.
The DA Limiteds are probably the most attractive aspect to Pentax's lineup right now. Small, reasonably priced and very good primes combined with in-body IS is something no other camera maker offers. -Adam On Sun, Feb 8, 2009 at 12:06 PM, Paul Stenquist <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't understand why they need a 15/4 with a 14/2.8 and the 12-24/4 in the > line.
