Probably not *real* soon, as they just released a 33-55 and 55-100, but I think it will be the next prime to be converted. > I will be manually > focussing this lens most of the time anyways, but if they > update the lens to an AF version I'm wondering if they > might improve it, much like the newish 75/2.8 for the 67. > In that case, I might wait.

My most common use > would be landscape photography, with some hiking involved. Get the Mamiya if you need interchangeable backs, higher flash sync or a digital back. If my most common use were landscapes, I'd get the 33-55 anyway. tv - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List. To unsubscribe, go to http://www.pdml.net and follow the directions.
