FA Limiteds — Rest in peace

Certainly worth a read and an interesting one. I wonder if new versions of the FA Lts'a are about to be marketed by Ricoh?

I read somewhere that HD versions were to be made. If so then that augers well for the ff.

It's interesting, but still seems to be based on rumour and conjecture.

I still treat it with a pinch of salt. I think it all stems from that massive New York Shop - B+H - show the stock of lenses, or lack thereof. Rather than back order or suchlike, they say disconinued. Very Strange. Obviously it starts big rumours like this one.

Agreed, and also how long has the 50mm f/1.4 been discontinued? According to the rumours years ago, but we still have it.

All the Limited lenses are still on the Roadmap as well.

So a pinch of salt seems reasonable.
