That’s not the craziest idea In the world. It would be effective f2, stopped down to f2.2 to cut down the CA but would be an interesting experiment.

Originally posted by johnha The FA77 is less than 300g for an FF lens, you gain very little weight saving limiting it to APS-C. Screwdrive makes sense on a small lightweight prime, is reliable and hardly slow. It's not cheap but then neither would a new 85mm.
Pentax presumably looked at their line-up and came to the same conclusion. I’ve never tried the FA77, sounds like I should.
