I remembered your street series. Back when u were still using k20d. Honestly, I haven't tried this focal length on aps-c.

Look at the lens photos, the DA50/1.8 looks just like the DA35/2.4So I guess the price won't be too high.
The 560mm lens looks beautiful ;p
And the coolest lenses are probably the bodycap lens for the Q and the new lens for the K-01. I've already told you guys that they'd release some lenses dedicated for K-01 w/ rear elements extended into the empty space in front of the sensor, now this lens is another reason to buy the new K-01 camera
The reason for the "bulkiness" of the K-01 is clear now! Very interesting Pentax :thumbsup:
That could work to WR favour by having the zoom internally and small. If they could have an attached ovf and more FPS they are one up in the mirrorless game.
But no AF and focus peaking on the NX!

16-45 created in 2003 then comes 2005 06 come out zoom at F2.8 so you never know how technology goes. Since pentax was good in making quality small lens, I don't rule out seeing one faster limited zooms in near future.Go pentax go!!!!
Quote from the link:
DA 50mm replacement for the FA 50mm
DA ~20-200mm walkaround zoom
DA 550mm non-star telephoto prime
DA limited short zoom (~20-40mm)
DA wide zoom (~10-25mm)
DA* zoom (~20-80mm F2.8)
DA telephoto zoom (~100-300mm)
DA 1.4x SDM teleconverter
Looking forward to the DA* fast zoom!

i believe this is effective range 20-80mm ?
Effective as in 35mm equivalent? Definitely not from the way they write.

to my knowledge, pentax does not use "35mm equivalent" to name its lenses. Ricoh does that for its GXR modules and i can understand the reason for that: different GXR modules may have different sensor sizes so its easier to convert everything to 35mm equivalent.
also, the actual focal length of a 35mm equivalent 20-80 would be 13-53... and there's already a DA*16-50 :dunno: what's the point?
a 20-80 is actually a good focal length for what many would call a "walkabout" lens - something like the very popular pentax or sigma 17-70. with crop, it works out to 30-120. i can so imagine myself using this lens
but i suspect that it'll be a pretty big lens.

I based on DA wide zoom (~10-25mm), if 35mm term it will be a 7-16mm lens which I don't think will exist.
