The price of the Canon 4/17-40 in Frace of about 1350 Euro which means a street price of 800-1000 �/$
I hope the Pentax 18.-35 will be around 300 Euro. As the Canon has a 1.6 factor the resulting focal length will be 27 to 64 The Pentax will be a 27 to 53 Maybe the Pentax offer is not so bad as it looked on the first hand Regards R�diger >Mark Roberts wrote: >> I'm probably not alone in my disappointment that Pentax's new 18-35 zoom >> is a cheesy "J" lens with an aperture of 4.0-5.6, but it makes it even >> worse to see something like this: >> >> 17-40mm zoom >> Constant f/4.0 aperture >> Canon mount :( >> http://www.dpreview.com/news/0302/03022709canonef1740.asp >>
