One reason I got rid of my DA 40 was it was just an awkward foc length that wasn't good for much. I wonder how cheap Pentax could make a decent small 35 mm prime? ------Original Message------ From: Adam Maas Sender: pdml-boun...@pdml.net To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List ReplyTo: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Interesting Rumour Sent: Sep 5, 2010 8:46 AM
Apparently Pentax will be announcing 2 new lenses with the K-r and K-5. A cheap 35/2.4 normal and a 18-125 consumer superzoom. The 35/2.4 will be plastic-mount and sub-$200 USD. Given the slow speed when the equivalents from Nikon and Sony are f1.8, I'm also expecting it to be quite small. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
