Well, it finally gives Pentax a replacement for mid-range normal zooms like the 28-105's, longer than the 16-50 or 18-55 but shorter and better than the 18-250.
Gotta say I loved that range on the Sigma 17-70, and the fixed max aperture is a nice feature (but I'd probably still prefer the extra stop the Sigma's got at the wide end over the half-stop advantage the Pentax has at 70mm). Pentax isn't exactly matching Nikon's overflow of normal DX zooms (Nikon's made the 18-70, 18-135, 16-85VR, 3 different 18-55's one of which is VR and two of which are currently available, the 18-200VR and the 17-55 f2.8) -Adam On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 10:35 AM, David Savage <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > :-D > > What I mean is it's another lens in the 16-XX range.
