Re: Two new Pentax products to be announced today

[Robert Gonzalez]

I have the 35-135, its a bit too soft for me.  I seldom use it on the 
*istD, because it also shows alot of CA on that camera.  It is very 
versatile as a "walking around" lens however.

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.
     

I have no opinion on that. But I have to point out that there is a gap
in their lineup which could help them raise money for that larger
sensor R&D :-)))
   

I would also add that research for this lens may be minimal: there are
already 2 old lenses near the required FLs (K45-125/4 and
F35-135/3.5-4.5). According to Stan's site (the other indispensable
resource and also on par with the two I mentioned yesterday) they were
both good, though we have limited samples.
