I dont feel that quality is the only issue with the term "classic", I feel it can only be proven to be a classic with the test of time (i.e. long term enduring). If I had to classify any pentax lenses as true "classics" at this point it would be the super multi coated takumars, and not for ultimate optical performance reasons either. To, me the ultimate "classic" lens is the Zeiss Tessar of 1903! Its design is still used today it is/was so good for only 4 lens elements. Now that's a classic. jco

The FA*200 f2.8, from my brief experience with it, is an excellent performer. The Limited's & FA* lenses are modern classics IMHO. Cheers, Dave At 01:21 PM 15/12/2006, J. C.
