> Which is why they are designing new lenses. New designs aren't likely to be able to go far enough. Lets see, to get an angle of view that is more or less the same as the 15mm f/3.5 (the widest rectilinear that Pentax makes for 35mm), they would need to make a 10mm lens. I really have my doubts that this is feasable with the 45 or so mm flange to focal plane distance that the K mount has. Also, the new lens designs being shown are slow, huge zooms. The 16-45 is about the same size as the 28-70 f/2.8 and is a stop slower. William Robb
