I wonder if Pentax will update "HD" to "UHD" once UHD TV comes out.... I think they just should have left the name the same and upgraded the coatings themselves.
Funny thing is the new coatings will be most effective on lenses with high number of groups like complex zoom and wide angles, probably not the highest definition lenses in the lineup. ----------------- J.C.O'Connell hifis...@gate.net ----------------- -----Original Message----- From: pdml-boun...@pdml.net [mailto:pdml-boun...@pdml.net] On Behalf Of Jan van Wijk Sent: Tuesday, September 11, 2012 6:55 AM To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: RE: Pentax announcements official On Tue, 11 Sep 2012 06:05:02 -0400 J.C.
