[ortega]

anyone have any news on this?

[wainism]

is it out already?

am thinking of this over the peleng since its so difficult to get!

ortega,
any idea roughly how much the price will be?

[ortega]

i ask you and you ask me back

I only know that it should be on sale sometime this year
it should be the same lens as the pentax one

http://www.pentaximaging.com/product...ital_35mm_zoom

so the price should be the same or lower
just a guess

If you are in the same shoes as me, using a 1.5x or 1.6x LF DSLR, you can withold the purchase of any lenses specially for non FF dslr, instead make do with only lenses meant for your FF SLR , the amount of $ you save would probably be able to get you a FF DSLR when they becomes a little more affortable.

Eg : EFS 10-22mm (S$1480)
EFS 17-85mm(S$1229)
Tokina fisheye (wild guess of S$1000)

So you keep all L lens Must be very rich

NEW TOKINA AT-X 107 AF DX Fish-eye lens

official announced and available in the US in October

[TMC]

Available in Japan since 2 weeks back.

Just tried it out. Didnt impress me, handling wise. Didnt seem like a value for money lens unlike the 12-24

[yyD70S]

[TMC]

region of 900 IIRC.
