Wah! Still waiting for that 10-30 zoom, if it comes at f2.8, that would probably best lens ever.

Was hoping the new DA* zoom will be announced instead of the primes. Zzz..seems like it takes rather long for Pentax to launch something new.

Those are MSRP, the actual street prices might be quite a bit cheaper than these.

Zoom lenses of DA, DA* & DA limited were in their roadmap, but looks like we'll have to wait much longer for these since they just released prime limited. I particular interested to see that they released the DA* zoom lenses, it's said to have focal length of around 15-80, kind of like Canon L lens focal length but much wider & tele. If this comes with a big price tag then many of use can just drool over!:lovegrin:

I prefer the 10-30 range , on APSC sensor just nice ,15-45mm, if constant f2.8 , Wow! The DA12-24 is long overdue for replacement .

I do prefer the current 16-50 have a longer range. Say 16-80. If the lens is able to perform, I do not see the high price tag an issue. 
DA12-24 replacement should be a DA* or with WR. Its really an amazing lens though. The zoom ring on mine doesn't feel smooth after my winter trip to US. Not sure if something has gone loose in the zoom ring but its still working fine.

The HD limited lenses are available for pre-order in jpy amazon, The 15 has the highest price tag, follow by 21 & 70, the least expensive is the 40. The current limited has a slight price dropped of 2- 4%. I'm wondering whether it will continue in this trend but guess that's very unlikely, since they are quality lenses.

$429? Well not to worry .....you can still get the AF 360FGZ from me at less than half the price .....

Well that was why I went for the Metz instead when I bought mine. the previous version of the AF360GZ lagi worse... can't even swivel!

Who needs to swivel when you can use it off-camera .......

True that. But I'm very lazy, only use on camera as a bounce flash.
You don't know what you are missing then .....the AF 360 is one of the easiest to implement off shoe flash .....

If the new flashes LED can act as modelling lights, then its a pretty worth it addition for off camera strobing.

The swivel head gives you better control of the light you want to bounce off. It could only bounce off the ceiling without it. Using Off camera flash can be a hindrance, sometimes it's faster to just swing the flash head & fire off.
