Yes, but because of the crop factor your 85mm portrait lens is now a
132mm lens. Therefore for a portrait lens you would use say the 50mm,
hence a different DOF, no?

I'm not aware of magnification. It is a crop of the central part of the

I'll be more disappointed than ever if they start fixing areas of the lens line-
up where it 'aint broke before they fix where it is i.e. down the wide/fast

Manual focus good - auto-focus bad.
Manual focus good - auto-focus bad.
Film-based SLR good
Why not an DA Limited series ?
I guess most DSLR buyers are looking for practical and affordable lenses,
instead of luxury lenses like the Limited which really aim for manual focus
buyers.

I read the patent for the 118/2.4 too last year but it doesn't make sense
for Pentax ro release another expensive Limited lens consider the last one
(FA31/1.8) hasn't sold that well. This is especially true when people are
saving money for DSLRs and digital lenses now. 87/2.4 is just too close t
