If I interpret the Babelfish translation of the press release at <http://www.tokina.co.jp/news/4961607atx165news.html> correctly, the Tokina versions of the new f/2.8 DA zooms are not compatible with the 1x and 1.3x Canon cameras. That would make a 1.3x Pentax camera in the near future unlikely... -- Regards, Lucas -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
