To hit a price point with a lens design Pentax would never work on
themselves. I mean, some of the real Pentax lenses are nothing to scream
about either (eg. the FA 100-300 4.5-5.6), so it's not like they are soiling
an otherwise pristine line. Like every brand, Pentax has some great lenses

Thank you for the figures (I admit I was just too lazy to do the maths :-)

Not too tough, I imagine a good scanner at it's highest settings will put
out a file that big from the negative. However, I doubt that doing a scan
at that higher resolution is going to gain much when the neg was shot with
a disposable camera lens, or when the film is the typical 400 or 800 ASA

Here's a fun way to spend some time:
Go to http://www.nationalgeographic.com and type "Pentax" in
the "SEARCH
OUR SITE" box at the top of the page. This returns links to
NG pages
with Pentax pictures.
Also interesting to compare the number of hits when searching
for

Hi,
Having read this thread, I finally came to a question.
Why Pentax sells lenses with its logo on them, manufactured by others? I
heard that 28-200 is actually made by Tamron - and the quality of this lens
is very poor. Quality of lenses with the Soligor or Cosina logo on them is
also usually ve

Welcome back Mafud! I personally thought the original poster put their
completely OT post out there to get a rise. Which they did.
