Originally posted by house I'd prefer if they didn't make it a limited. There's a price penalty on the jewellery aspect that I'm not very keen on. DFA 4/20 however... that would be amazing! That's all I'm waiting for. da 15 ltd equivalent but with slightly tuned compromises. A bit bigger (relatively) and better corner performance. F4 is fine though. It's a real shame so few brands produce slow primes.
Well, I'm speaking from the perspective of someone who preferred getting a 45-year-old M20/4 with corners than a similar amount of money for a bigger, much wider, "better" modern lens like the Samyang 14/2.8 or splurging a bit more for an Irix 15 or similar...
My driving decision was size; while I seldom use UWA lenses and I wouldn't be willing to carry a bigger lens, I was kicking myself over not having an UWA often enough that I didn't hesitate with the expense - and it's technically my second most expensive lens (so far; I'm eyeing the 77 but it's difficult to justify the cost when my Tamron 90/2.5 already makes beautiful images...). If it weren't for the Limited-like size I wouldn't carry it with me. As it is, I always throw it in my bag or a big pocket.
