new lenses in plural...? 55mm looks indeed destined to become the new "normal" focal lenght for D645. With a shift in "normality" from 75mm to 55mm, would you need to add more than one lens on the wide side? But I see what you mean. I have the 35mm for the 645, but would also desire something even wider with a reduced-size sensor. To me, the main problem is that such a lens does not exist, and is not even on the 2007 roadmap. :-( Jostein -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
