Why bother selling a lens you don't use in order to buy another lens that you probably won't use much after the first week of ownership?maybe it's time to "upgrade", although I seldom use the 50mm.
It makes more sense to me to sell the lens you don't use and put the money towards something you will use.

Some thoughts on the new DA 50mm would be appreciated.

I can't imagine any lens bettering the Pentax F

I totally agree It makes more sense to me to sell the lens you don't use and put the money towards something you will use.
In that case I'd probably be selling all my lenses except the 18-135mm which is rarely off the camera. Mrs Snap says "Sounds like a good idea to me"

I have the FA and it's great. I would be very surprised indeed if the new DA has different optics. The coatings may be different but other than that it's just more plastic and has no aperture ring.

I really liked the DA50mm and the only reason I got rid because I had the F 50mm 1.4 and the 1.4 just had the speed advantage but I actually preferred the bokeh from the DA50.
