Thanks, Jack! Pumpkins are orange.. everybody knows that. But they come in lots of other colors too. You can find pumpkins that are green, yellow, red, white, blue, even tan. http://www.pumpkinnook.com/facts/colors.htm In this case, I think the color resulted in part from the lighting

I hope that means I may finally find a replacement for my Tokina 28-70 ATX-Pro f/2.8. The Sigma 24-70 is all right, but I really loved that Tokina lens. On 10/27/2017 14:45, Igor PDML-StR wrote: Although I cannot find the official announcement on the Pentax website, the way it is quoted (or

Hi Igor, The Auto Alliance point regarding how long it would take to equip the fleet is self refuting in that they said the same thing six years ago. More importantly, I get only 900 words, so I have to pick my battles. In regard to the paragraph breaks, the first is debatable but a split

Although I cannot find the official announcement on the Pentax website, the way it is quoted (or possibly paraphrased?) says: "Newly developed ring-shaped SDM" See it e.g. also on this site: http://www.photographyblog.com/news/hd_pentax_d_fa_50mm_f1_4_sdm_aw_and_hd_pentax_da_11_18mm_f2_8 So,

Re: Ricoh announces new Pentax lenses

This reminds me of the discussion of "Good, Fast, or Cheap: Pick 2". In lenses it seems to be a few more than 3 categories, but you still can't have them all without paying a metric buttload of money. "IQ, small/light, Fast or Cheap" perhaps? IQ, of course, can involve a number of things

Re: Ricoh announces new Pentax lenses

Actually they look like all the other lenses, fast highly corrected lenses put on bulk like Arnold Schwarzenegger training for a body building competition.   Personally I prefer a smaller package sacrificing ultimate sharpness and uber correction. On 10/27/2017 10:25 AM, Collin Brendemuehl

We are long past the time for retiring the FA50/1.4. And the FA35/2. HD coatings are critical. Has SDM been made reliable? All-weather (AW) looks like useful thing. And really expected these days. I hate to say it, but they *look like* Tamron packages. Hope I'm wrong. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss

It is possible that a side benefit (once it starts shipping) may be that there will be a lot of Pentax 12-24mm f/4 lenses coming on the used market. On Fri, Oct 27, 2017 at 9:02 AM, Igor PDML-StR wrote: > > I am guessing, "11mm" will cost an arm, and f/2.8 - a leg. > ... or
