Rumors? No rumors, D-FA Macros, DA 35, DA40 Limited, DA*55, DA*60-250,
DA*200, DA*300 all do cover 24x36 frame without problems. I have tested
'em all quite carefully with Z-1p body. Haven't developed the film with
some DA40XS shots, but most probably this lens also has no significant
The DA 40 f2.8 is almost exactly the same lens as the M 40 f2.8, by all
accounts. However it does seem that the former is sharper in the
center, (the area covered by the APS-C sensor), but softer at the edges
and in the corners, when tested on 35mm film. It's possible that Pentax
tweaked it
Yes, that should have been amateur, not armature, though in some sense
the testers may be armatures, who knows.

Actually the latest DFA 100mm macro that's weather resistant doesn't
have an aperture ring, either that or they've done a damned good job
camouflaging it.

Touchè.
Well... now I believe that D-FA and DA no longer have a meaning and they are
used randomly.

I suspect Pentax's plans for where they are going were changed a lot
when they sold themselves to Hoya. I suspect they changed as much again,
when Hoya sold the camera division to Ricoh.
I also suspect that Pentax marketing product development are still
trying to catch up with the changes.
I think John has hit upon the key point. The two Pentax sales may
have left them with a legacy DA lens (which may work with FF) en
route and Ricoh wanting and/or finally letting them produce a FF DSLR.

Can you imagine the flapping that would have ensued, had they called
the new 50 a DFA lens...? The FF contingent would have exhausted
themselves long ago in all the excitement. Rumor has it that the DA
60-250 also covers FF nicely, after all
:)
