To all fellow LBA sufferers On the USA Pentax site there is downloadable booklet on DA lenses which has some details on the new fisheye Here is a comparison with the old one Fisheye Lens 17-28mm 10-17mm Optical Formula 9 elements in 7 groups 10 in 8 groups Aperture Range f/3.5 (4.5) ~ f/22 (32) same Angle of View 180 - 90 degrees 180-100 degrees Minimum Focus 0.45 m 0.14m Max Magnification 0.07 X 0.39 X Front-Filter Thread no no Maximum Diameter 65 mm 68mm Length 61 mm 71.5mm Weight 255 g 320g The main difference is that it focusses a lot closer, so scope for dramatic effects should be good! Although I've just bought the old fisheye second hand, I'll be very tempted when this comes out.
