Most "classic" Pentax lens optics show serious fringing on DSLRs. The new lenses are far better. Some primes would be fun, but zoom technology has advanced to the point where developing primes is somewhat impractical. I suspect that the D FA 150-450 is superior to any 300 or 400 mm prime Pentax ever made, and I wouldn't be surprised to find that the D FA 15-30 is better than any of the old Pentax wide primes.
