I know it is a consumer zoom but it is still very welcome IMO. IST-D(s) are affordable DSLRs and such zooms are logical steps in the right direction. Now, D-FA 50mm and brighter zooms are definitely needed. Thibouille

Hi Raimo - Since being repaired my LX now goes right to 1/75th of a second when the 280T is put on - and fires are that speed with the flash firing as well. Of course - camera in auto mode. The shutter speed can still be selected manually. The LED for the ambient light exposure still lights

I just hope it is optically as good as or better than Pentax-F SMC 70-210 so I can buy it. :) Constant f4 would be even better and I don't think it would add too much weight as it is almost too light now. - Original Message - From: jtainter [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: pentax-discuss@pdml.net
