I'm still amazed Pentax don't make a DA 28mm. It would after all have much the same field of view on an APS-C camera as the 43mm Ltd, which they decided was the correct standard lens for a 35mm film camera.
Yeah, a lot of us have been wondering about that!
I'd love a DA* 28 f/1.4 or something like that. Would be a perfect all occasions prime.
How about the FA 31 ltd? Quite near to 28mm.

So then, the bling factor comes to Pentax photography.

I bought Titanium (silver is so last year ) coloured Limited lenses too, but only because there was no other choice at the time.
Maybe it's just nostalgic. I have a black and silver MX and last year bought a black and silver SPII. Somehow it looks "right".

I have not heard of any silver zooms, but they announced a silver version of the 3 limited pancakes, 21, 40 and 70mm. Should be available in April.

What does the colour matter, really. K10D Grand Prix bodies in used condition nowadays are worth little more than a normal K10D.

I'm sure the K5 Limited will be the same in a few years.

Time was, you bought a camera to suit your needs, and stuck with it for many years. Not so any more. It seems we've got used to the idea that we must have the latest piece of a-n-other gear, whether we actually need it, or not.
You have a point, but it's great to have a choice. I prefer the limited version, it will surely look great with silver lenses, and it will be different from many other brands' cameras.

Will it make me a better photographer? Definitely not. Will it make me a happier one? Definitely yes!

A question for the medium format experts: what would you say is the market price for a pentax 645N body + pentax A80-160mm 1:4.5 in very good working conditions?

Thanks, Giorgio

A black camera looks like another black camera. The little changes in number after the K don't seem to get noticed. Thankfully.
So no K5 limited for you

and they did have the K5 limited in silver in a display cabinet with the 43mm Ltd.
Does the k-5 limited look as good as in the picture published on the web?

'Dan' is actually Daniele - slight error re gender.
But Daniele is indeed a male name in Italian...
