My other Limiteds (43, 31, 77) are all f/1.9 or faster. That's a lot more than a third of a stop! F/2.0 and under is Limited territory for me. I'd *consider* the upcoming 70/2.4 if it were under $500 (and if I didn't already have the 77!) -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
