Originally posted by dcpropilot Yeah, I have some really good FF frame compatible primes. Was out shooting today and my FA limiteds were putting out some moderate Purple Fringing with my K-1. If they updated for that and flare resistance i.e. updated coatings, I'd be a happy camper.
Given that the FA Limiteds are actually in current production (not selling down stock from the last batch that ended production 12/2012) I think it unlikely they will be updated any time soon. I personally think Pentax would be insane to alter them in any way at all.
Rather I believe over the next 12-18 months Pentax will release 6 new FF prime lenses in the UW - Telephoto range, three of D FA* quality and three of high DFA quality (same as the 28~105).
24, 28, 35, 50, 85, 105, 200, 300 seem reasonable focal lengths to look for.
I think things are about to become anything but boring in the FF arena
