I have all the DA Limited primes and I well understand the reason for the 20-40's existence, having alternated between the DA21 and DA40 for a solid week last year to good effect... but once the K-1 had been revealed as the surprisingly (relatively) affordable winner that it is, I knew there was one in my future and no point in getting any more DA-only lenses. But I can see how someone coming into the system or trading well up in capability, and who didn't need or want the K-1, might walk out of the store with (e.g.) a KP or K-70, DA15, DA20-40 and DA70 and be perfectly happy for life. If I were hypothetically forced to rebuild my entire system around an APS-C setup tomorrow, that might be a tempting way to do it.
