I'm looking at buying back into the system right now. Itused to be that the DA 14 was marginally cheaper than the 12-24. Now the DA 14 is half the price of the 12-24, which retails also for twice what the exact same lens (Tokina 12-24/4 of which the Pentax is a lightly modified rebadge of) does in other mounts. The 43/1.9 also essentially doubled in cost while the 77/1.8 went up around 50%. This is not making my lens selection easier. -Adam -- M.
