Ouch.  But I think it suggests they don't have much ability to price lenses.

 

(But it's got 6 whole elements, that's why we have to price it at $7000 !)

Quote:Indeed, Tamron has a link to Sony. Would be odd to see Tamron lenses badged as Pentax, especially lenses which Tamron does not have itself?
 

 

Quote:Like I said, the current Pentax 18-270 <i>is </i>a re-badged Tamron 18-270, like the Pentax 18-250 was before it.

Sony has a links to everyone, so?

 

Tamron has both 15-30 and 24-70 lenses...so it's not impossible.
 

Looks like it is indeed a Tamron collaboration.
