I've done business with Henry's several times. I'm sure that if you call them they'll be happy to take care of you. This transaction has gone on far too long to be sensible.

Re: Anyone tried the 21/3.2?
One based on my experience with both, yes. I was very happy with the FA77. I'm happier still with the DA70. The DA70 suits me better (size, weight, shorter focal length, and quickshift), and performs identically to all intents and purposes.

Re: Anyone tried the 21/3.2?
I was at least semi-jocular... Indeed, it's been told by your and other sources that DA70 is good performer which I have no intent to deny. It is just that your suggestion to cancel an order for 77 Ltd was a bit... how to put it... categorical... Again, I am at least half-kidding ;-).

Kidding or not ... If there was no alternative, I'd hang on to the order until Henry's gave up on it. But Dave's been waiting for that lens for, what, four/ five months now? That's ridiculous when there is a suitable alternative which performs equally well or better, and that is easily available. Unless you just want an FA77 and have no need/desire to take pictures, I wouldn't give it a second thought: Cancel and switch.

That's ridiculous when there is a suitable alternative which performs equally well or better, and that is easily available. Silly me, I did not now Dave was waiting for so long... Then indeed, your suggestion is absolutely correct. Unless you just want an FA77 and have no need/desire to take pictures, I wouldn't give it a second thought: Cancel and switch. Me too.

Anyone tried the 21/3.2?
From this site: http://www.pentaxslr.com/lenses DA 21 mm F3.2 AL Limited. $549 Looks tiny, weighs only 140 grams. Might be great as a general street photography lens on K10D. Add a 50/1.4 as a mild tele and I'd have all I need. -- Sandy Harris Quanzhou, Fujian, China -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

I've been shooting with this lens since last August, probably 2500-3000 exposures by now. It's a winner.

In my own experience is a great lens for that use, totally recommended.
