It's all Huw's (Greytop) fault for whetting my appetite with his almost giveaway price for his D-FA. I didn't need it, I didn't win it, now I want one.
I have the FA version, but I think I'll try a D-FA version for its suitability with my flash.
Thanks again.

This much I know, D-FA is much lighter than the FA. It has 49mm filter thread (FA is 58mm). It has quick shift MF.
Is there much, if any, difference in image quality?
Did you switch from an FA to a D-FA version? Any regrets?

Slightly more powerful than Eneloops, much cheaper, and so far, I can't fault them.

Strange question but oddly, when you see promotional images of bags the lenses displayed rarely, if ever, are shown with caps.
But lets be honest, is there something in a camera bag that would/could damage your lenses?
The whole padding inside mine bags are soft, no zippers or anything.

Mine are always on all lenses unless I'm making an exposure.

It seems a strange move considering your recent heavy investment in Pentax kit.

And one more question about the pen: is it to be used also for sensor?

The DA* 60-250mm 1:4 is a superb lens. IQ is superb, at f4 with SR on its certainly fast enough but you have to consider spending around £1000.00 for a new one. There is a (slightly) used one for sale in the classifieds.
