Yeah,
What is there to review?, The Tamron/ Pentax 18-270 mm zoom is reviewed in other mounts. Yes, the DA 50 1.8 could be reviewed. Is it worth reviewing the Q range of lenses? I think not.
Pentax seem to be in limbo at the moment, We are told that we are going to see many new products from the Pentax/Ricoh stable ( the Ricoh GXR is here with a "fixed" lens!) and Pentax are supposedly in talks with Tamron with a view to Full Frame lenses. They say a week in politics is a long time and maybe 6 months in the digital camera world is similar, Pentax are hovering on taking the risk on a FF dslr, I wonder if it may not arrive, with Canikons strong FF models. Pentax are now a small company and are now relying on other lens producers to supplement their lens range, so I don't really foresee a plethora of new Pentax lenses!
PS. Sigma have now released the new 35mm 1.4 in Pentax mount, so that's good news for Pentaxians!
