Fair enough. But it's a bit unreasonable to expect them to manufacture lenses to meet the "requirements" set by a couple of individual users. The point is that they have a selection of lenses that cover a wide range pretty thoroughly. Would it be nice if they covered a particular range with three lenses instead of two? Well yes. It would be *nice* if they covered it with one lens! But they don't... and complaining about that is kind of like complaining about the weather. I'd prefer to see Pentax put their limited R&D money into a DSLR with a larger sensor. I don't expect to see full-frame for a while, but a 1.3x crop like the 1D would be a step in the right direction. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
