Hi all, is there any official or reasonable convention how to name the new familiy of digital lenses?
The official sites use e.g. DA lenses / DA-lenses smcDA, smc-DA, Pentax smc DA smc PENTAX-DA, smc Pentax-DA, Pentax smc DA (probably P for Pentax in smc P-DA). The latest macros show "smc Pentax D FA" or "smc PENTAX-D FA" Up to then I felt rather comfortable about the families SMC-K SMC-M SMC-A SMC-F SMC-FA However, now I wonder which of those ever was an official description - I doubt SMC-K and I don't have any clue about the new 'smc'. According to pentaxusa.com, all of the former models now are named "smc P-FA" etc. I suppose, the official text on the lense read as SMC PENTAX SMC PENTAX-M SMC PENTAX-A SMC PENTAX-A* ...? (and a font where you don't know whether SMC is upper or lower chars) It's only a minor topic. But once again after creating a name that no-one else knows how to pronounce (star-ist) or find by any search engine (*ist, *istD), they now thought about yet another topic how to confuse the users :-/ If it's modern to use lower case chars, it should be smcDa :-( sorry for ranting, Martin
