The image circle of DA lenses is better suited to the size of the
sensor. I'm no optical expert, but it's relative to the angle at
which the light hits the sensor. I've noticed that DA lenses produce
far less CA than FA lenses. Or would you prefer that Pentax never
release any new lenses?
Yes they are, but Pentax doesn't make VR/IS lenses to compete with
SR-equipped bodies.
Canon has a good reason to stick to IS lenses or do both, the full-frame
bodies. Nikon doesn't.
