At one time, I owned the 43mm Limited. While it was mechanically very nice, I can't say that it was obviously an optically better lens than the FA 50/1.4. But it costs twice as much.
The 31 limited costs about 2-3 times as much as the FA 35/2. Again, how much - if any - better is it optically? The 77 limited seems to be the one exception for now. The closest thing to it was the FA *85/1.4. The 77 was cheaper and seemed to be a better all around lens. So, my question is - are the limited lenses truly worth it? Beyond the cachet of owning one - will there be a marked improvement in my images? Now what complicates things a bit is the new DA limiteds. They are priced more competitively. It almost seems like for the digital sensor, the new 21, 40 and 70 might be a better triplet than the old 31, 43, 77. I'd like to hear what others think. -- Best regards, Bruce -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
