No, but it ensures that you'll buy a new lens much sooner - besides the bayonet, there are more metal parts replaced to plastic ones inside.

Also, if they're going to do even four lens barrel colours, that implies a fairly major automation push for lens manufacturing. Taking the human with a screwdriver step out is likely a significant win.

If it's a new, integral hood design, or no-hood, that would be a larger change than just more plastic in the construction. -- Graydon, who finds it amusing that Pentax is setting to produce it's own line of L glass, aimed squarely at the cost-conscious end of the market. -- 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: You may want to check Pentax news Thursday (no, no FF, no 645)
I don't take this a particularly bad news. The camera isn't my first choice, but a lot of people will like it. It has a higher frame rate than anything I currently own and with the video capability I'll be it has a reasonable buffer. Might even make a decent backup body for a K-7. This looks like the new standard in entry level cameras. The new lens is aimed at the same demographic. Every camera company has made bargain products in the past, and currently hopefully Pentax will sell a boat load of these at a high enough margin that they can support the higher end models, limited and * lenses.

It's a rather ferociously spec'd intro model, and it's, possibly for the first time in living memory, a place where Pentax is out in front of all the other camera companies in marketing something. Supposing that 50/50 split on male/female buyers for the white K-m is true—I have no reason to doubt it—this is potentially a significant big deal. I'd prefer that Pentax was out in front for reasons related to image quality, but, hey. It's a horrible economy. Pentax can sensibly enough take what they can get, it's leveraging Hoya's manufacturing expertise, getting more outright new DSLR shooters is a good thing, and the 55-300 is optically really seriously good for what it is. If people's intro to Pentax kit takes really good pictures, well, they might spend more money on Pentax over time. Somehow Bob's buttocks were more, um, sensational. It's bad enough to discuss Bob's buttocks without discussing the sensations thereof. -- Graydon -- 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: You may want to check Pentax news Thursday (no, no FF, no 645)
Those cheap lenses have HUGE manufacturing tolerances. If the product itself and the production processes are designed properly, there should be literally no way to assembly done wrong. Call it manufactural foolproofing if you like. In other words, kit lenses and precision assembly are from different worlds. What's about our made in vietnam friends? Either those lenses are not foolproof in manufacturing (burn the production engineers) or there's too weak quality control (burn the final quality controllers). Don't blame the line workers - if there's something that CAN be done wrong, they DO it wrong. Bring on the automated machinery and it will go even worse. Been there, seen that. BR, Margus Graydon wrote: That's the Vietnamese plant with the dire QA issues, no? It's not just screwing things together, that's getting optical tolerances while screwing things together. I'm sure your right about the cost of straight-up assembly, but it's pretty clear they've got issues with assembly done right. A moulded in flange is likely cheaper than attaching the metal flange correctly. -- 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.
