I was just wondering if anyone else agrees with me that the new DA lenses seem like a bit of a backward move. Shouldn't they be working toward incorporating full frame CCDs and reducing the cost of that technology first? Doesn't this new DA lens reduce the optical sweet spot (and isn't that bad?)? I always thought size alteration was more of a final phase of product evolution- like when they run out of things to do, they'll go "I wonder if it'll fit into a matchbox" or "let's make this the biggest flat screen ever!" (thus this seems a bit like jumping the gun). I wonder how much resources this direction takes away from moving towards full frame (maybe Pentax isn't even considering it!). Whole thing kinda reminds me of APS.. Could it be this is another Pentax nail in the pro coffin?
Ryan PS. If I've made an early assumption which renders my rant foolish, I apologise in advance.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rüdiger Neumann" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Hallo > infos on the coming DA16-45 are on > http://www.aohc.it/pressrelease/lns0308e.htm > regards > Rüdiger
