I did get a pretty firm "the f/1.7 variant has been discontinued" when I asked the local distributor about the availability of normal lenses before I bought the one mentioned earlier. I'm not sure, however, that such responses are the rule, or if Pentax themselves would say it. (The distributor in question is an independent company, as far as I know.) - Toralf -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
