Originally posted by Kunzite No, it was there for years and it's indeed a separate thing from the D FA Limited. The 21mm is what was previously known as the "ultra wide-angle single focus lens".
The wide angle might be the 3rd D FA* prime I reckon.
DFA* = large aperture
Ltd = compact and still around f/2
It is interesting to see lenses surface that are not on the roadmap before lenses that are on it for quite some time - not counting replacements that will not be listed long time in advance. Not sure whether Pentax changed their mind developing a Ltd wide angle before the DFA wide angle.
What they have shown today ensures confidence in the brand. Three new own designs with new focal lengths and quick AF engine plus a camera with attention to detail look great. I am waiting for the 85 for years, now there is a lot more stuff worth buying almost available. APS-C and FF look bright today.
