Well, if you carry around these lenses, and you never come to circumstances where you think- "Gee, if I had something with a bit more reach, I would like to get a shot of...." The same holds true of the DA 20-40mm DC WR Ltd lens. Having the DA 15mm and DA 70mm Ltds, with the 20-40mm as the centerpiece, you then definitely have added even more versatility. The DFA 100mm macro would extend even farther. It is also quite compact, but not nearly as much so as that trio.

Originally posted by kiwi_jono I have both the DA-70 and FA-77 and I think both are great lenses.
I use the DA-70 in my travel light kit (K-01, DA 15, DA 40 and DA 70) and has often pulled off nice images. But it really depends on what you want to shoot of course.
For sure! I have both, and have found they are different enough so this has been justified. The DA 70 actually tested-out to be 65mm. The FA 77mm tested-out right on the button. This difference shows up out in the field. If wanting shots with more background included, the 70mm is the one of choice, especially if wanting very good edge-to-edge sharpness at all apertures. OTOH, the FA 77mm is best for emphasizing and more isolating a particular subject. It is also better for low light work. It remains among my most favored lenses.
