It's arguable. Not a fact.
I do apologize if I read it differently.
I like the Pentax limited's and am thinking seriously of buying them. They lack modern features (like ultrasonic motors and instant manual override) which take them off the top-tier though.The size is what appeals along with the hope I'll be able to shoot them full-frame down the line.
Even if they lacked the USM, the AF is still fast and the DA limiteds have a manual override (quick shift). With their IQ, I can't see the reason why take them off top tier when IQ is the most important factor.
Not true at all. If you need the speed there is no alternative. It's nonsense to say that you can somehow create light out of nothing by saving money. The best results at low light start with gathering the most light. If you don't agree with that we can all shoot f4s, save the weight and money and fix it in post.
A 2/3 stop advantage is not worth 3x the price especially with today's modern sensors for lowlight photography. But I will not disagree that the 1.4g is a much better lens in terms of overall IQ even though hard to discern. But it also just proves that the 1.8g is of an awesome value.
