thats interesting, isnt DA "for aps" designation or not? this is all too confusing from pentax. If this is a FF lens it should be designated as such to diferentiate from aps.
as for image quality, the A70-210 is no slouch, especially when used on aps, thats why I wanted somebody to do some comparison testing of the two.
