Thanks, that's what I figured, but it's difficult to understand why they would call it a standard lens. Like many others, I am constantly scanning the horizon for hints of a full-frame DSLR release. It will determine whether my next lens will be the DA 35mm macro, the FA 35mm f/2 or one of the Sigma EX DG lenses in that range...
Thanks, Andre

What's up with the new Pentax DA 55mm Standard Prime Lens... Since it is a Digital-only lens, and is a standard lens, you'd expect a fast lens in the 30 to 40mm range. The 55mm lens would only be considered "standard" if it were part of a full-frame system, and I don't think Pentax will be making $700+ lenses for its aging fleet of 35mm film cameras.
So, is this a new lens for the long-cherished full-frame DSLR system, or is it a mislabeled portrait lens for the K20 system?
