Never heard of this. Pentax makes lenses etc. for video and security systems and industrail products. Not only for still photograaphy. I think that Pentax line of industrial producs are in fact more profitable than for photography (if at all). Regards

See <http://cgi.ebay.nl/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7536360195&rd=1&sspagenam e=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1>. It's Autofocus and Powerzoom with a 2/3" bayonet mount. Which seems to have a register distance of 48mm, so you can 'easily' make an adapter for your *ist-D. Might vignette a bit at the wide end, though :-) Does anyone know whether this is a one-off, or are there more SMC Pentax-D lenses? -- Regards, Lucas
