Personally, I've gone to take photos around the city many, many times with only the FA43 mounted on the camera and it's liberating to have nothing but a compact fast prime in that range. To me the GRiiix is very, very appealing. And it's as good as it is precisely because it is specialized.
To me personally, it is very confining.
When I ‘go around town’, I take my 20-40mm Ltd lens, and then I have to ignore birds, squirrels, etc that would have called for something ‘longer’.
We are clearly different people with different preferences, so I see no reason to continue this discussion.
I would never purchase one, but I hope lots of people like you do to fund the next Pentax camera.
