DA* lenses with FF sensor (was next move from Pentax: hints about sensor)
Pentax expands for new hungry markets like Russia and one on my friend in St. Petersburg has attended Pentax presentations to try DA* 50-135mm f2.8 lens not so long ago. Only Pentax he has with him was older FF film body and he claimed there were about 3mm blackouts in the FF viewfinder corners, meaning DA* lenses cover almost full frame and would definitely cover 1.3x or 1.25x crop. This is good news in anticipation of bigger that APS-C crop sensors to come into game. Just my 2¢ Roman. -- new photos once and again... roman.blakout.net http://roman.blakout.net -- 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.

Re: DA lenses on FF
Looks like it's fine past 24mm. I've just checked it through the view finder though. Thibouille wrote: What about DA18-55 ? -- Thibouille -- *ist-D,Z1,SFXn,SuperA,KX,MX, P30t and KR-10x ... .

DA lenses on FF
Hello All, I would like to know which DA lenses can be used on FF (i.e. film) and what focal lengths. I refer to covering the entire frame. In particular: 1. DA 16-45 2. DA 10-17 FE 3. DA 12-24 4. DA 50-200 5. DA 14 ??? - I assume no here. 6. DA 40 - I have heard yes. Thanks. Pawel

DA10-17 will cover the 35mm frame from about 14mm to 17mm, though I don't know if it's sharp or not, I've just looked through the viewfinder of an LX with it mounted. William Robb

DA 40 - I have heard yes. I bought a DA 40mm to use on 35mm -- works fine, it's a great lens. * UncaMikey
