Part of my reply below was just WRONG.
The 35mm equiv. is not printed on the front of the lens. That was the
filter size.
My basic multiplication tables have failed me once again.
Still, the descriptions refer to the 35mm equiv. and Pentax and
reviews all note the 35mm equiv. and crop factor
Is it the 110, APS-C or 35 mm equivalent filter size then?
