I agree. I'm pretty sure a Ltd series zoom will have a limited zoom range so it quality isn't compromised. The higher the zoom ratio, the more compromises you need to live with, and Limited lenses are supposed to be the top in terms of image quality, so I would expect a small zoom ratio of around 2x for such a lens.
Since the FA 20-35mm F/4 is still pretty sharp for an old film lens, it could indeed be adapted to the requirements of digital technology. I wouldn't rule out a deeper re-design of the lens, though, maybe with the final result being an APS-C dedicated, 18 to 20-35mm F/4 zoom (or something in that range).
