I just came across a new lens for Pentax: Rokinon Tilt-Shift 24mm f/3.5 ED AS UMC Lens for Pentax http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1012957-REG/rokinon_tsl24m_p_tilt_shift_24mm_f_3_5_ed.html
I've never used any tilt/shift lenses, but I remember people mentioning them on PDML (and read some discussions elsewhere) which made me interested in them. Well, I cannot justify the price ($999) for just playing with it, as I am not really sure I would benefit from it (for what I am using my camera). It is interesting, that Amazon (and the questionable-reputation "6ave") already have them (albeit at @1300): http://www.amazon.com/Rokinon-TSL24M-P-Shift-Pentax-Cameras/dp/B00EFS0ZMQ/ but B&H still offers only preorder. Actually, Adorama also has it in stock at $999: http://www.adorama.com/RK24TSPX.html Also, rather interesting is the phrase in the description on Adorama's website: "This lens is suitable primarily for full-frame cameras but will work just as well with an APS-C crop sensor. " I wonder what it is based on... (And that phrase can fuel the theories about the FF cameras. ;-) ) Cheers, Igor -- 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.
