New Pentax lens announcements! - Guest - 11-04-2017 Quote:Last word on that "personal attack" complaint, kunzite. You're very easily and quickly feeling personally attacked when it's about Pentax. A third personal attack. Oh, boy. New Pentax lens announcements! - Guest - 11-04-2017 Quote: Agreed! The ultra wide looks like it could be a great "bright" asset to the lens line as will be the DA* 50mm F1.4........ Some years, sure. In some years we had good progress; the D FA 150-450 I've mentioned? It wasn't there in 2014 I hope they'll pick up some speed, though. The development on the first D FA* primes took some time, but that's over... right? I'm not sure what you mean by castles and moats, but in 2011 - when nothing at all was happening with Pentax - I started thinking about going Nikon. And if I needed that ultra wide-angle prime (or some 600mm f/4 :p), I'd be shooting Nikon. So my Nikonian friends would have a place next to me, in the banquet hall You know, it amazes me how people are talking about me having religious-like obsessions with a brand when they're the one doing the attacking...

Ah, yes the gospel according to the lens mount.....it all started after the seventh day apparently ....when God gave us light! ......he left us to sort out what mount would be used to capture it.........then came the wars.....and then.... you know peace and love etc..... and the rest is history!! .....or was it the future? Does anyone understand.......Why?

New Pentax lens announcements! - Rover - 12-12-2017 To these eyes it looks good. New Pentax lens announcements! - Guest - 01-17-2018 A Japanese photographer managed to borrow a pre-production sample: http://thisistanaka.blog66.fc2.com/entry/1153/ http://thisistanaka.blog66.fc2.com/entry/1154/ http://thisistanaka.blog66.fc2.com/entry/1155/ http://thisistanaka.blog66.fc2.com/entry/1156/ Sorry, it's in Japanese and all the images taken are small size (due to the 'beta' status of the lens). This should be a well corrected lens (unsurprisingly, given its size) capable of maintaining good characteristics for all focusing distances. Good bokeh (I guess... the image is too small), excellent flare resistance even by Pentax standards (??). Recommending the use of the central focus point(s) - the f/2.8 ones I suppose - but focus accuracy assessments would wait for the final product. Build quality? They put 7 screws on the lens mount just to make sure there will be no play whatsoever.
