Oh yes, I'll feel so much better knowing I'm using lenses specially designed for my $1500 camera that cost less than 1/10 as much as the body. Especially when I have lenses that should work that are better built and have superb optics.

Hi Everyone,
I think I may have figured out Pentax logic behind the FA-J lenses. I'm certainly not agreeing with it of course. OK as everybody knows the *ist D has a 1.5 x magnification factor, so if you make FA-J lenses that are specifically designed for it, they don't have to be as sharp or as high quality optically around the edges, especially when it comes to an 18mm zoom that can save big bucks; Right? However nobody with an MZ-S, MZ-3 or an LX will buy an inferior FA-J lens without an aperture; Right? Pentax says that they will still make lenses with an aperture for those cameras, Right? They also say that the FA-J's are entry level lenses and the *ist is an entry level camera; Right?
Maybe there is a method to the madness; Right? WRONG!!!
