The headline news in this week's AP is 'Pentax reveals digital SLE lens'
and goes onto escribe the up and coming SMC Pentax-DA 16-45mm f/4 ED AL
lens. According to the article it is expected 'in the spring' with no
released price as of yet. Apparently the lens can be used on Pentax film-
based SLRs, but will not cover the full 35mm frame (so what point there?).

Interestingly, the article includes:

'Pentax has not ruled out the launch of a second digital SLR at the
upcoming PMA trade show'.

Could this be the possible announcement of the baby D ?




Cheers,
