I do not think it is "exhorbitant", not as expensive as some of the competitors', but am holding my breath. Those USM (SDM) lenses are dust/drip proof. For this reason, I am hoping that they are of an IF design, like FA*80-200. Even if not,m extended barrel won't be so wobbly because of USM & dust/drip proof.

Re: 2007 Lens Roadmap In English
Considering that they're DFA, I expect it will be a similar situation to the DFA 50 & 100mm f2.8 macros. "Optimised for digital" FA versions. Probably based on the FA 200mm f2.8 & FA 300mm f4.5 (Though I would prefer the f2.8 version) Dave On 9/21/06, Adam Maas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That's my hope.

That rather depends on whether SDM will be restricted to just the DA* lenses, or whether it will be available on regular DA lenses as well. In any case, it's sometimes nice to have a little more reach on a general-purpose zoom; I bought the FA equivalent, a 28-105, rather than a 28-80. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
