There's a sample from the HD PENTAX-DA 40mm f/2.8 Limited
in the announcement on the right of this site. K5-IIS used.
This lens is known to be soft at the edges, but the sample shot
is very soft on the RHS grass & trees. It's a bit worrying that
this ever got past Ricoh's QA? Even more so that
they put it out as a sample
The 18-55mm Kit Lens could do better

You shouldn't let her see Top Secret Classified Information
such as Lens Roadmaps
Just tell her you are getting some nice
red rubber bands to put round your lenses

There was a new 360 launched some time ago, but it was
never seen in the wild.

Rounded aperture blades, plus extra blades in some, to provide
better bokeh, which is the main reason some people wanted FF plus
a lot of effort put into these APS-C lens revamps.
Looks like APS-C is the way to go and there won't be
a FF, which doesn't bother me either way.
The red ring will clash with my next purple camera though
and purple is the only colour out of 120 that I like

HD doesn't sound as good as SMC New buyers won't even
notice it.
I knew Ricoh wouldn't be sitting back doing nothing on
the development side!
My green half of the drainpipe I might paint it red.

Both 55-300mm lenses have ED elements. The DA has two.Algernon wrote:

Go for the DA version, it's worth it just for the Quickshift.

It is optically identical, just like the DA L 18-55 is optically identical to the DA 18-55WR. Coatings, glass and optical arrangement are exactly the same.How do you know it's identical optically? Traditionally cheaper

I don't know if the DAL has one or two? Pentax rarely
give out precise glass details.
The 18-55mm is reported to be available in 4 variations

Difficult to find and the apertures had to match.
There was also an earlier Sigma IC mount.
