Subject: Sample Image - A70-210 on digital was RE: DA* 60-250 at B&H
I got curious and went out in the parking lot
and snapped this one today handheld with the A70-210mm/4 on digital
(istDS).
I think I was around 180mm and F8 on this.

Not a critial test but based on this and some others I shot, I can see
no flaring problems, no distortion
or CA corrections needed at all, good color saturation, exc shadow
detail. etc. As for
sharpness it may be not quite as good as my SP tamron 80-200/2.8 but I
would
want to shoot both to compare and with tripod to be sure. Bottom line,
nothing
so far that definately disqualifies it for digital use. I didnt
see any purple fringing so far with this as others have noted, but this
needs
more testing. Overall I can say that the A70-210 is at least a very good
lens on APS digital, possibly better than that with more testing
confirmation
against other zooms and primes I have on hand.

I'm just guessing here, but I expect Pentax knows that whether they go
willingly or kicking and screaming, full frame is the future.
True. But, just like Nikon, they'll need to public ally deny it for as
long as possible or people will put off purchases of APS-C cameras while
waiting for full-frame magic (fantasizing that full-frame is going to be
possible at an APS-C price). I'd expect Pentax will get full-frame right
around the time it's feasible at/under the $2000 USD price point. I can
wait.
