Some more photos of these two * lenses taken by my tiny Optio S:

The pro-looking marks:

The big 50-135/2.8 (bigger than I expected):

And my friend was drooling at the 16-50/2.8:

Can't wait to mount these two babies on my own K10D ;p

Cheers!

Anyone asked for the price without the freebies? Really weird freebies!

 

[the mac 13]

I was there for 10mins. Mangaed to see what the freebies are. Really not impressed. Did see the AF540FGZ there, but never ask if it's on sale. No price listed on display. Hope on last day it'll be better

K10D "$500" freebies are;

2GB SD x 2 (I believe it's the normal ones)
LI-50 batt
Lowepro bag
Cleaning kit
LCD protector
SD card reader
SD card storage box
23 ltr dry cabi

K100D "$400" freebies are;

2GB SD x 2 (I believe it's the normal ones)
AA batt kit
Tamrac bag
Cleaning kit
LCD protector
SD card reader
SD card storage box
23 ltr dry cabi

AA batt kit - rechargeables?

lousy freebies! sucks

 

[fengwei]

Those are monsters...not babies :bsmilie:

Big babies lah Compare to equivelent C/N lenses, the 16-50/2.8 isn't big at all.

Smaller the better... It's the MAIN reason why I changed to Pentax. Lighter, more efficient, plus more cost effective!:thumbsup:

 

[istDeS]

Just wondering what that white tape or sticker on the front cap. Anyone notice?

 

[creampuff]

Those lenses sure are nice to have. Can't see too much or I'll be drooling over my computer!
Can only hazard a guess that the lenses on display are pre-production display prototypes. AF motor/computer chip may be disabled or absent. BTW does Pentax actually sell direct or are the people manning the booth from a local retailer?

Cathay Photo is manning the booth. If you look closely at the staff, you will recognise some of them.:bsmilie:

 

[the mac 13]

Can someone scan the pricelist?

 

[rudigunawan]

OT a little bit.
Anyone reads Japanese: http://www.fujiya-camera.co.jp/
They have an icon for the DA* lenses.
Are these already available in Japan?

No problem obtaining a translation. Just copy the internet address on to GOOGLE and search. When the address coms out in GOOGLE click on "translate this page" and this is what you will get:

DA&#9733; 16-50mm F2.8ED AL [IF] SDM <The next few days sale> High picture quality digital* The series more and more appearance <<< in DA&#9733; reservationacceptance 50-135mm F2.8ED [IF] SDM <The next few days sale> High picture quality digital* The series more and more appearance <<< in reservation acceptance

I gather from the above that the lenses will be available within a few days and the company is accepting reservations for them.
