John, the DFA lenses were introduced way earlier before K10D was introduced. At the time, it seems, the ways of Pentax were unsure. Now they seem to be more or less committed to APS (1.5 crop factor) format.
There were only two DFA lenses - 50/2.8 and 100/2.8 both macro. Boris J. C. O'Connell wrote: > DFA?
