I haven't done the math, but I'm guessing around 4x. That makes the "kit lens" a 16-400mm in 35mm FOV equivalency.
Think iPhone quality sensor only LARGER instead of "so much smaller than APS-C". Even Pentax Full Frame buyers are going to own an X-5. It is like the Ultimate 4x Teleconverter for all their existing Good Glass. (Has to be Good Glass because smaller sensor pixel pitch makes them more susceptible to CA). They are going to sell a million DFA 100mm Macros and Limited to go on this lens, once people understand. This is absolutely BRILLIANT and suddenly makes all the R&D that Pentax did on the slow-selling Q look like sheer genius. They now "own" three sweet spots with the best camera (and glass): APS-C with the K-5, 1/2.8" with the X-5, and 1/2.3" with the Q. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
