You consider the DA 14mm ƒ2.8 slow?
Yes, but not terribly so, f2.8 is quite acceptable for a 21mm
equivalent, but by is no means fast. Remember, the FF world has lenses
faster than f2 in this FoV range (Oly 21/2, Sigma 20/1.8, Leica
21/1.4, even Pentax's prototype 20/1.4). Pentax has exactly two lenses
wider than 31mm and faster than f2.8 (28/2, FA* 24/2), and neither are
current-production
But Pentax lenses don't go *poof* when production stops, and so far,
they are all supported, for what they are.
As far as I'm concerned, all Pentax lenses are current. Just can't get
some of them repaired by Pentax any more.
