There's an interesting rumour thread over at APUG, it seems that Carl Zeiss may be expanding their new line of 35mm lenses to include a ZK line, with an announcement supposedly at PMA.
This would be interesting, as it would mean that there would be a readily available 85/1.4 in K mount again, along with the excellent 25/2.8 Distagon (I don't see much interest in the other ZF lenses here in Pentax-land, the macros and 35/2 are too expensive and the 50 Planar's no better than the FA) No word on what mount, but I'd expect KA, Zeiss is avoiding electronics, but contact coding and a locking aperture ring are easy, and the aperture design is already linear on ZF. The downside? The Planar 85/1.4 simply doesn't match the A* in performance. The Upside: you can actually get one. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
