Pentax branded lenses using Hoya glass, perhaps costing less because Pentax will be getting their glass "in house" after the merger, and more cooperative developments like the joint Pentax/Tokina 10 - 17mm fisheye. The two Tokina lenses I have are very good, they've worked well with both my *ist-D and PZ-1P and I couldn't afford the equivalent Pentax lenses. But there are some other Tokina lenses I wanted that neither have a Pentax equivalent nor are available in Pentax mount. What I'd really like to see from Pentax is a digital LX with interchangable prisims. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
