It very well may be the case. > What I discovered was that there just wasn't that many good wide angle > options available to me if I stayed with full frame. I agree with you. However I find FAJ 18-35 to be completely satisfying my wide angle needs for now. Whatever happens in the future is unknown to me yet but it will surely take place ;-). > Nothing wider than 15mm, and the A15 is a horse of a lens, nothing with AF > wider than 20mm unless one wants the fisheye zoom, and from what I have read > on list, the autofocus 20/2.8 is not as good as it could be on digital. I do have the fish eye zoom (F17-28), though after I got FAJ 18-35 I use the fish eye lens very rarely. > I'm not buying into the conspiracy theory that Pentax will drop the small > format sensor size as soon as they can in order to force lens sales, though > I admit to the possibility that this might happen. I tend to buy into any conspiracy theories. I simply think that eventually the race for more pixels and laws of physics will force DA sized sensors to grow to FA size. (Please see my reply to Godfrey in order to see why I am using DA and FA notation.) > If it does, I will have still gotten good use out of my DA lenses, and I > anticipate they would still be useable on a larger sensor camera in much the > same way Nikon has integrated small coverage lenses into their system. Yes of course. But I am using my FA lenses and both having fun and getting rather good (at least for me) results. Why would I want to "fix" it in any way? > Has anyne else noticed that the DA lens mount still has a slot for the > aperture simulator lever? Not me. I don't have any DA lenses to look it up right now ;-). Boris -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
