Well the 16-50 and 50-135 are obviously DA lenses, so they're digital only. But the 60-250 and the 200 and 300 primes are supposedly D-FA so they should work full-frame. That 60-250 f/4 has me *very* interested! Unfortunately, I expect it's about a year away from availability. But other than that, how do you feel about front-wheel drive? <g> -- Mark Roberts Photography & Multimedia www.robertstech.com 412-687-2835 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
