Godfrey and Adam, I suppose the problem I have with the new 15 Limited is the f4 max aperture. I don't know what the image quality is, but you're talking zoom speeds. Is this really preferable to one of the wide Pentax zooms? How much preferable? I've never been satisfied with f4 aperture lenses... Regards, Bob S.
