If you could have but one Limited............
Which one would it be?

Note, I said one Limited, Not one Lens. Is there a limited that you want, or have, that does something that NO other lens can do?

FA 43 or DA 15. Both had properties that I just loved. Probably leaning more toward the FA 43 than any of the others.

Either the FA31 Ltd (it's just the best) or the 20-40 for its wider range and WR - the 31 would probably edge it though.
But that said, the DA 40 is pretty good.
Do I really have to choose just one . . . . . .

The 15 is my favorite Ltd so far, but I've only just ordered the 35 Macro. Looks like I couldn't have just one.
(Actually, when the DA35 Ltd Macro gets here, I will have the full set in green. They're like Pringles...)

Boy, it would be hard for me to choose between the DA 15 f/4 and the DA 35 f/2.8. If I could only have one, I'd go with the 35 but I would really miss the 15!

Da line : 40. Most compact, flexible focal length, great IQ.


FA : 43. Same reasons. Since I've never used it, I can't compare them, but I would probably favour the 43 for the faster aperture. Only if it had quick-shift however. And why not WR...

I use the 15 the most. It's the right length for cars, and some other things.
