Thanks for this interesting article. Here's a related question (which maybe deserves its own SL and thread): If the GF1 has a Lumix 20mm f1.7 pancake lens, why is the Pentax 21mm Limited so slow? There are several for sale on this list, and I have to be honest I'm sooo interested, but I hesitate putting out that much money for such a slow lens. It's a perfect focal length for my street shooting, but as many of you know I shoot a lot of night shots. Right now my A50mm f1.7 is good, but I want something wider. The 21mm Limited is just too damned slow! If Panasonic can do it, why can't Pentax? cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
