"yes I know they sell a zoom " limited " lens but I can't comprehend that one". Regard it as twenty Limited primes.
The advantage being that it does not take as much room as twenty (Limited) primes... It will always be a problem, you do not have to comprehend a lens, you either love it or you do not. As you perhaps know I do not comprehend the love for Limiteds, except that zoom one. It is a lens that deserves to be loved and it needs a good friend in the form of a K-3 or the KP to shine. What I see in the Limited Primes is a lens that is build in the manner that old K and M lenses were build with a sturdy body of metal. If I take the 28mm F3.5 K lens or the M 50mm 1.7 I see a lens that is build to last a long time with good/precise optics and a body that is well cared for. No plastics, just metals. I like the look of the Limiteds, it shines out the classiness of them, but I do not like the results. I have the 20-40mm for a couple of years now and used it on the K-3 II with very likeable results, but I bought a KP recently and on that camera it gives the impression that I have a new stellar lens, but it is still the same one, but that is what I mean, it needs a good companion to outshine the rest. That is maybe what the Limited stands for: a lens that needs a good companion in the camera used to deliver quality, it is not a specific lens for a budget camera, but for a higher end one.
