Originally posted by PentaxBro problem arises if one would like to use something closer to perfection.
Thankfully, there are very few use cases - and users - who
need something closer to (technical) perfection. Most (perhaps all?) mid-to-high-end lenses from any brand are more than capable enough for the majority of amateur and professional applications. There would seem to be quite a few folks who
want near-perfection "
just because"... and they're allowed to
want that, of course, even if the vast majority don't
need it.

I'd say the D FA*50/1.4 falls into that bracket, though it's only the first in a line of such lenses that will take some time to flesh out. Until then, Pentax may not be the best choice for the
tiny proportion of users who actually
need technical perfection (you may be one of the rare few?), or those who simply
want it even if they don't
need it...
