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?
Same reason it's easier to make and buy an ƒ1.4 to ƒ1.9 lens for a
16mm Bolex, or a 1/2" sensor TV camera. Coverage, and lens to film/
sensor distance.
