Are you saying the DA 21mm Ltd isn't sharp enough for landscapes?
What I'm saying is that even resolution IS important for landscapes...it became common mantra here in the forums to make excuses for weaker performance just like you did - that resolution isn't everything. Of course what counts in first place is the imagination, light, composition etc. But given the properties of equipment: colour can be partially improved, aberations tweaked but if the detail is missing - there's nothin you can do about it. I don't know much about DA21 resolution, that's why I asked Frogfish about his opinion here. Not to mock DA21, just wanted to know his experience with da21 and voigtlander20 ...because i was considering those year ago....

You could also consider the wonderful Voigtlander Color Skopar 20/3.5. Great colours and better sharpness across the frame - but MF only.

However the 21 Ltd / A20/2.8 and VL 20/3.5 are all around the same price.

Review here : link
if only that Voigtlander wasn't so expensive.....btw. is it really sharper than da21?

Hi, here is my Pentax 77/1.8 Limited for sale. The lens is anodized silver version made in Japan.
Condition is excellent and both front and rear glass is perfect without any scratches. The inside is excellent with the clean, there is just one very tiny hair at the edge, but it doesn't have any effect on the photos...even if you shoot against the sun. Body is also in nice condition. The lens comes with original lens caps and original lens pouch, but without original box. Here are photos of the actual item:

I will sell it for £590 (or 707 EUR if you like), preferably to EU, shipping via EMS (please note that I'm no longger in UK, so shipping would be about 19£)
I can use bank transfer only.
Anyone who have further enquiries, please feel free to send me messages.

Thank you for looking.

I recently bought a DA 35mm lens and was blown away by the quality of images it produces.
I'm lusting after more Prime lenses and was thinking of buying the 21mm Ltd as a walkabout lens to be used along side the DA35mm and A 50mm F1.7

Has anyone any thoughts about the 21mm Ltd, as I've read some mixed reviews.
or maybe look out for FA20/2.8, rare, more expensive but fullframe and doesn't come with this limited bug
