But they went to some trouble to create an entire lineup of DA lenses with adjusted focal lengths instead. So 16-50 ~= old 24-70, 50-135 ~= old 70-200, DA*55 is the de facto portrait lens, etc. For those many of us starting out with a blank slate on APS-C, the Pentax bodies together with the DA and DA* lineup makes perfect sense. It's just those legacy lenses that don't fit so well. :-) -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
