Possibly it was translated by Google or Microsoft's Bing translator.
They don't need another editor, they just need some proof-readers.
Nowadays it seems like nobody proof-reads before publishing. At most,
they run it through spell-check.

I think they mean it's a fixed maximum aperture rather than variable,
but they wanted to make it sound /faster/ somehow, or a translation of
the original Japanese, by German speaking Chinese translator who heard a
rumor of this strange language called English.

Does somebody know what "accelerated maximum aperture" means, and who
and where dug out such a "creative" writer:
"Thanks to its large- constant aperture design, the lens provides an
_accelerated__maximum__aperture_ of F2.8 at all focal lengths from
70mm to 200mm."
This is published on DPreview, but it is presumably a quote from
RICOH's announcement of the new lens:
http://www.dpreview.com/articles/5760258369/ricoh-introduces-hd-pentax-d-fa-70-200mm-f2-8-and-hd-pentax-d-fa-150-450mm-f4-5-5-6-zooms
So, it must be Ricoh's writer.
"Large" is not equivalent to "accelerated"!
They need a good editor!
