Pentax D FA* 70-200/2.8 and HD D FA 150-450/4.5-5 Are Coming...

[fengwei]

That 150-450 is so irresistible. Got to hit the gym if I am ever going to hand hold that 2kg beast.

Heard there are three more FF lenses in the pipeline, hope there won't be a heavier one in those ;p

i hope one of which will be a 24-70 f2.8...

Most likely would be a 24-60/2.8 instead of 24-70... But I might be wrong, as always

You already got a Tamron 17-35.... stick to it.

Plenty of UWA options available even now.
Samyang 14
Sigma 12-24
Tamron 17-35
Sigma 17-35
Vivitar 17
K,M,A,FA 20
FA20-35
A,K15
K18

Should be ok as long as the pixel density of the camera is not too much.

Now that I've gone over to Nikon FF, a few of the venerable older Nikon lenses I've tried just don't match up to the newer versions. I expect the same with the upcoming Pentax FF. More megapixels demand better resolution and better vignetting control. OK I'm telling you guys to expect to spend more on better lenses when the mythical Pentax FF shows up. You'll find that what was OK on APS-C is just blah on FF, even though the older lenses have an image circle that will cover FF.
