That Gary and Ken assume Donovan is asking about the f/2.4 is something very differnt.The lens in question was clearly defined by the first three posts. Ken even mentions quite clearly f2.4
The only indication that Donovan gave about the lens is DA35 so only Donovan can know for sure if he's talking about the DA35 f/2.4 or the DA35 macro limited.
Oh Pentax japan have now an action where you can change the grip into another colour.
It's for the Km, Kx and the Kr so if you've that camera maybe you could drop by Pentax

Will if you look at other Pentax sites it's called DA and not DA-l, they don't know it either how to call it I think
I had an idea what lens but I wasn't sure and I'm still not to be honest.
Most are assuming it's about the DA 35 f/2.4 but it can just as easily be about the DA 35 limited.
He hasn't said "new" lens or something like that so what are the indication it's about the DA35 f/2.4?

You are right and it does use the PZ contacts like the SDM AF.DC is the af system in, for instance, the new 18-135. Not sure how it works - no doubt Stefan can blind us with science - but it is nearly silent, like SDM lenses.
the DC seems to stand for Direct Current so it's most likely a Different motor than SDM.
DC will be used in DA lenses and SDM in DA* according to an interview.

But aside from being pedantic, you're mistaken. There is actually no such thing as a DA-L 35mm, it's just what people have taken to calling the new DA 35mm f2.4, since it has a plastic mount.
Pentax does call it a DA-L though. But aside from being pedantic, you're mistaken. There is actually no such thing as a DA-L 35mm, it's just what people have taken to calling the new DA 35mm f2.4, since it has a plastic mount.

It seems that way, it won't be a bad thing for the more advance serious photographer.Interesting comment "Pentax used to be perceived as an “economy” brand, but we’re moving away from that image".
Maybe it's an indication off a DA*400 and a bit more exotic lenses

The AF is in the TC so it doesn't matter what kind or if the lens has AF focus or not.Hm, notice the remark RE: loss of screwdrive focusing.

If you put an Pentax K or A 50mm for example on it the TC also still focus right?
You will only have a problem if they just like Nikon take out the screw-drive in the lower end bodies, but since they say the DA limited will keep the screw-drive I wouldn't worry about that too much.

the DA 35 photozone.de
the DA-L 35 is another story though but some have posted some photos taken with that lens on the USA forum.
There is a link to that on this forum somewhere.
Here it is http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/pentax-slr-lens-discussion/118765-da-35mm-2-4...
And here is the answer from Ned Bunnel
The engineers at Pentax Japan realised the K-5 couldn’t take shots at 7fps for more than about 1s due to the buffer not flushing quick enough but they took steps to correct the problem. It has now been fixed and a firmware update will be issued shortly (mid November).

I've seen better ones though but still very nice
