The masses? probably not, they'll be set with the 18-55 and 50-200. But they'll likely not buy Pentax right now since Pentax lacks a competitive sub-$1K camera. Semi-serious photogs? certainly. It's a longer-range replacement for the well-liked 16-45/4. Nikon's similar range 18-70 and 16-85VR are also very popular, as is Canon's 17-85IS.
This will be the main option for Pentax users upgrading from the 18-55. I could also see Pentax using it as the kit with the K20D and later mid/high range bodies. -Adam On Wed, Jun 4, 2008 at 7:40 PM, Cory Waters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Wow Bob...
