Originally posted by boriscleto The FA 35/2 and FA 50/1.4 are not on the lens roadmap.
I think they are still in production and sold as new. They are missing in brochures, but so are the FA limiteds.
And about the SR.. I've heard comments that even full frame lenses won't fit a full frame sensor with SR, but I've also read measurements that the SR movement is so small that they definitely would fit. So I don't quite know who to believe. Also, lets not forget that Pentax can try making a new type of SR that doesn't need as much space. But if you are right, that would be a major blow against Pentax FF. Even if you can just disable the SR for lenses with an image circle that is too small.
Edit: Amazon right now sells "Pentax SMCP-FA 35mm f/2.0 AL Lens with Case and Hood" for $354.44. Pretty cool. The lens looks super hot with that hood on. I want a knockoff of that hood for my DA 35mm.
Ha, I just looked at how much that FA 35mm costs on a European webstore.. After an 8% discount its 700,11 euro
As much as the DA* 55mm f1.4, jeeze..
