"Limited Autofocus"

[Mr Guy]

This is possibly a dumb question, but what does "limited autofocus" mean on the pancake lenses?

Unless I'm missing something, I think you've just got a bit of a punctuation issue. It is one of Pentax's "limited" lenses that also happens to be an autofocus lens.

Sounds right to me.

On longer lenses, you'll sometimes find a switch marked "limit." That helps cut down on hunting, as it will only focus farther than a given distance, if that makes sense. I don't think that's the case here.
