Are they all really deserving or is it just that pentax has decided that it good marketing to call everything limited or * lens?
Correct me if i'm wrong but the only non * or Limited lens in the DA line up is the SMC Pentax-DA 14mm F2.8...
Coincidence so far, I'd say. But, since most consumers nowadays stick to zooms, I guess it makes sense that the DA primes are of higher quality.
I must admit, however, that it was nicer back in the FA days, where you could choose to go down either the regular FA route, or the FA* route, as both lineups covered a full range of lenses.
