That makes sense of something I read recently about Tokina's new 10 - 17 fisheye zoom being a joint development with Pentax. They're apparently the same lens mounted in different barrels. I would hope this means that some of Tokina's more desirable lenses will be available in PKAF mount. It's always seemed kind of stupid to me that lenses would be available in Nikon, Canon and Minolta mounts, but not Pentax, especially since I think Pentax had slightly greater market share than Minolta. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
