I just hope the local distributor will bring in all these lens. No point having a wide range of lenses but its not available locally.
Pentax lens range is getting confusing for newbies.
Limited - 15, 21, 31, 35M, 40, 43, 70, 77. Hand made, alumimum body(?)
DA* - 30, 55, 16-50, 50-135, 60-250, 200, 300. Weather sealed, SDM
DA SDM - 17-70. SDM consumer grade
DA - the rest. Consumer grade, screw driven.
:sweat:

You should tell Shriro about this As a matter of fact, we all should do so

Some guys complained that Pentax didn't have enough lenses for them. Well, it's certainly changed now :bsmilie:
DA15 ltd (suddenly DA14 seems so BIG) and DA*30 (hopefully F/2) are nice for APS-C sensors. :heart:
Looks like all lens are DA...still a long way to FF sensor for Pentax. :dunno:
Will they listen to us? A lot of people ended up getting their stuffs via other channel.
If i have to get my stuffs through other channel, i will still get back and tell Shriro.
Now people will complain because making a choice from the many lenses that are close in focal length or have overlapping focal lengths is gonna be more difficult. :bsmilie:
Actually, I want to get all these 3 lenses. But not much faith for Da* 60-250 though
I guess we'll just have to wait and see how the lens performs. Being a tele zoom, I would imagine that it will less likely have the barrel to pincushion distortion common to wide to tele zooms and superzooms. The price needs to be right too.
My concern is the fate of the FA lenses.
With the DA* 55mm f/1.4 now out, I wonder if the FA 50mm f/1.4 will soon be discontinued?
And what of the FA 35mm f/2 and the three FA Limiteds?
In my experience, while the 50 f/1.4 is an excellent lens, its a wee bit too long for general walkabout photography. I would have preferred to shortened it to 35mm or 40mm instead but keep it at f/1.4 or f1.2...
This make me thinks, will the new DA*30mm be a f/1.4?:think:
