According to the local retailer and local representatives new lenses shall be on sale from March 2007, not 2008 or 2020 (I hope). These will be:
• DA* 16-50 mm F2.8 ED AL [IF] • DA* 50-135 mm F2.8 ED [IF] • DA* 60-250 mm F4 ED [IF]. http://www.digital.pentax.co.jp/ja/lens/roadmap.pdf All HSM, and weather/dust resistant, to match K10D designs. Since march 2007 is right around the corner, I was wondering if some Pentax guys or testers had already played with these. Anyway, I'm not purchasing older 28-105mm lenses in anticipation of 16-50mm f2.8, or if there will be delay, I'm going to buy Sigma 17-70mm f2.8-4.5 in addition to my fisheye 10-17mm and Tamron tele zoom 70-300mm. -- new photos ever so often... <http://roman.blakout.net/> -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
