First, Rod Studdert's spider shot posted below is way terrific, despite his lousy gear. Good on ya! Here's it's north american cousin through a 100mm F and a bad scanner.

Several have posted that the DA lenses throw only an APS-size image circle, but I can't see any reason why that's the case. The DA 40mm objective element is exactly the same size as the original pancake, and the entire lens formulation is probably similar. Why would it throw a smaller circle? What I'm getting at is whether the lens will work on the other Pentax bodies despite being advertised as exclusive to the *ist bodies. Maybe Pentax is just trying to avoid sales competition with the 43 ltd.????????? Margus, can you post one of the shots with that nice serial# 000018 lens? http://www.eol.ee/~margus/arvutikasutaja/pancake.jpg
