Mine's got the serial number 00003914 and I lost the original front cap
somewhere about 5 years ago. I do have the original soft pouch
somewhere. It makes a nearly perfect longish normalish lens on the
K-5II. I think that anyone who doesn't love this lens simply doesn't
understand it.

I know that this group would gladly push a fellow down the slippery
slope, but I just took the plunge and snagged my first "Made in Japan"
silver Limited, the 43m f/1.9, serial no. 0003290 with hood and
original caps. Good Lord is it beautiful.
I had a 35mm macro limited (briefly) but fairly quickly sold it. So
this will be my first Silver Limited ever and is in a focal length
that fills a gap that is only covered (now) by my Pentax DA 16-45mm
zoom. I'm curious to see if it will be a keeper. Given that is is a
MIJ early serial no. I don't think I will have any trouble recouping
my investment if for some reason I wish to turn it.
Most of my "good" AF lenses are Sigma EX (not Pentax) so I'm curious
to see how much I fall in love with this lens. The other Limited that
would be on my "want list" is the 77mm f1.8.
In any event, with the FF Pentax coming, this is probably not a bad
time to snag good deals on FA Limiteds.
