It clearly won't work with any sensor much larger than what we have. In my mind, this greatly diminishes the possibility that Pentax will ever bring out a camera based on a 1.3x crop sensor. Joe ----- Hi, Some time ago I asked for the 35mm coverage of the DA70, but it seemed that nobody could check it on a film camera. I have found a thread on dpreview with info about this and other lenses that may be of your interest. (I know that Pentax is only at APS-C, but for us that don't make a living on our hobby, it may help that a lens is also usable in 35mm format...). The link: http://forums.dpreview.com/forums/read.asp?forum=1036&message=22325926 An abstract of the content: --- 10-17 FE - Usable from 14mm up DA 12-24 - Usable from 16mm up DA 16-45 - Usable from 20mm up DA 50-200 - Not usable, vignettes at varying (small) amounts, never quite clears DA 14 - Unusable, large image circle visible DA 21 - slight corner image circle DA 40 - Usable, no vignetting DA 70 - Usable, no vignetting --- IIRC, the 18-55 vignettes up to around 24mm. Hope you find it useful. Regards, Jaume -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
