Re: New Lens ???

[Pentax Clover]

Hello I really hope for a 17-35mm f/:2.8, not because of digital but because it will be great. Action picture for news papers (reporting) need to change easily the range and have great aperture. REmember, Minolta has a 17-35mm f/:3.5 and no Digital SLR. Some friend s of mine tell that using these 3 lens : 17-35mm f/:2.8, 28-70mm f::2.8 and 80-200mm f/:2.8, will be the most use for professionnal use. Even a 400mm f/:2.8 in FA version And when Pentax will make converteers with AF connection ? By the way, do you know that the USM using by Xanon is licenced by Nikon ??? Funny isn t it ?

I think it is up to marketing of Pentax, not their engineers to decide what models they will release (develop).   What lenses do you feel are missing?   Frits Does anybody heard something about a 17-35mm f/:2.8 FA ??? And about stabilisation or silent wave ??? And do you think it is going to be released a new 80-200mm f/:2.8, cheaper, without power zoom ??? Last: How can we write to Japanese Pentax engineers ? I hope to ask them to release some lens I feel missing Thanks See you   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
