Hi all DA ltd guys, I'm considering jumping back on on the bandwagon here.
One question though. How does AF speed of DA70 and DA21 (the two DA ltds I'm thinking of) compare to DA0 (the only DA ltld I have experienced)?

Thanks

The shot below corresponds to my mood lately. Scraps of light in an otherwise foggy picture (I just hate making those job-change decisions).

This was taken during one of my first outings with the DA 70 Ltd, at the dawn of spring this year. Just reminds me, what's coming very soon during autumn and winter...

Cheers!

The DA 70 is perhaps the lens with which I get the most stunning photos without much effort. It renders beautifully.

Nice shots iveous. Esp the dancing ones.

Practically speaking I ought to get the DA21 next, but I'm much more of a portrait guy than a wide guy, so I suspect I'd use the DA70 more. What to do, what to do....

Somehow I suspect that either way... you'd be one happy camper with another Limited...

I'm in a similar boat as you; only for me, it's between the DA15 and FA77... although I will eventually end up with both, its a matter of which to get first... so many choices...

Looking at your sig, I'd say go with the 15 first. The 77 is great, and I've used it about as much as my 15, but you've got lenses in that range. WA will be new and exciting.

That was intial thoughts about it as well, but the fa 77 just has such a strong pull lol... maybe ill just sell the j-9 and a few others to fund it since my ideal 3 lens kit is the 15/31/77
