I'm basically a prime shooter, using the DA 15/DA 35/DA 70 Limiteds.
Since I had a trusty old M20/4, I never bothered considering the DA 21.
However, I'm really pleased with the way the DA 20-40 Ltd is working out.
It's about the size of the DA 18-55 or FA 31, but is very light.
With the WR and zoom versatility, it's the ideal lens for carrying around.
I don't see the problem with the variable aperture.
You don't have to shoot fully open at 20mm if you don't want to,
say if you want to mimic the predecessor FA 20-35/4.
