Well, damn. I'm a little cranky that I couldn't find said information anywhere before I bought it, but at the same time, I'm sure I'd have bought it anyway. Adorama's description just said autofocus, and the Pentax K mount website just specified it was AF, and didn't mention that it was for a specific body. Live and learn, and at $50, for a 35-70mm f2.8 zoom, I'd have still bought it, I guess. Can someone at least confirm that its a GOOD lens, though, so I feel a little better about it. :) -- http://www.infotainment.org "The destructive character is cheerful." - Walter Benjamin - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
