Well I know how good the FA* lenses are. If it wasn't for the fact that I couldn't afford them when they were readily available I'd have one of each by now, instead of just one. Assuming the DA*'s are just as good I'll eventually get some.
I'm not put off buying these reduced image circle lenses anymore. I'd just prefer Pentax to keep their options open for a future 35mm FF DSLR.
