My only comment is that Ricoh Pentax is now producing 7 zooms in the
normal / long normal zoom range:
16 -85 f3.5-5.6
16-45 f4
16-50 f2.8
17-70 f4
18 - 55 f3.5-5.6
18 - 55 II f3.5-5.6
18-135 f3.5-5.6
Obviously there are differences in focal length, features, etc. The
16-50 f2.8 really is in its own category and there is clearly a
significant difference in zoom range from the shortest (16-45) to the
longest (18-135). But - the line up also seems to be somewhat redundant
and I for one would like to see new products that help diversify offerings.

I thought some PDMLers might have advance intelligence on the new
lenses, and that other can read the specs and make a bit more sense of
them than I can.

Well, since the lens only became official less than 24 hours ago none
of us has had the opportunity to try it out, so I doubt anyone here
will be able to speak to its optical quality. But I'm sure lots of
folks at PentaxForums will be happy to do so ;-)
