Originally posted by yusuf Interestingly enough, FA lenses price remained unchanged. DA70 and FA77 costs almost same now.
I am curious as to what this means as well.
With such an obvious LACK of a price increase among all the others what would be the purpose? I'm sure the lens road map we have all seen is no where near the whole story. Would I be too optimistic in thinking that maybe they want to clear this current stock so that when hypothetical replacements for the FA limited line arrive they would not have to compete with older cheaper lenses? Also if a full frame was in the works they would not announce new full frame lenses before the body is announced would they?
If the above is not the case then will the FA limited line be discontinued outright? Does anyone know if they are physically manufacturing these currently or if they are selling stockpiles from previous production runs.
I know this is extremely speculative lol. I'm still going to remain optimistic but if the FA s are on the way out I think I wanna score a 43mm if the tax return works in my favor!
(see? Optimistic!)
