Originally posted by Paul the Sunman Am I right in thinking that Ricoh/Pentax has shown absolutely no intention to adapt old FA lens designs to their new DFA offerings? If they were going to do it, it would have been the easiest route, so they probably would have done it by now.
You're right, so far as I know.
Having said that, in fairness to @Rico I
can see there'd be demand for a refresh of the FA Limiteds, and Ricoh
has mentioned expanding (?) in the Limited area once the star lenses are done. So they clearly feature in Ricoh's strategy... just not in the order Rico and some other folks might like; and we don't yet know what "expand" means... is it more, different, updated, additional etc.? And as for pricing... well, forgive me if I remain cautious
