Well, from my photography teaching experience I can (sadly) report
that the vast majority of users
On the D, and the PZ-1[p] P mode is different, it's hyper program.
Depending which wheel you turn changes the camera from Av to Tv mode.
It almost makes up for losing the use of the Aperture ring, almost...

I can imagine! However, the lens makes sense for cropped framed digital
as it gives the same effect as a 100mm macro on 35mm. That was probably
the best selling and most profitable lens in the line up. No wonder
someone has come out with a 70mm macro for the DSLR's.

Yes, but there has usually been an 85.
70 is too short
I, on the other hand, have alway lusted after a 70mm for my 35mm
cameras. But since I now skip the intermediates --using a 24, 35, 50,
and 100 , + an 80-200 (hum..? I guess a 70 would fit in there nicely,
but it would have to be faster than 2.8)-- I guess it does not matter
any longer. Now if

Thanks for the link,
Mark,
Where did you get pricing info for this lens (and how much is it going to cost)?
Still interesting or sad to see that Pentax mount won't be released until later.

BTW: This probably suggests a $499.00 street price, I'd guess.

This statement is confusing:
Vignetting will occur if the lens is used with digital cameras with
image sensors larger than APS-C size or 35mm SLR cameras.
But the DG designation means it's

No aperture
Unusual length for 35mm.
Yeah, they should have made it 77mm :)

This comment reminds me of a question I always had about the
Limited's. I know the reason for the 43mm focal length (true normal),
but what is significant about 31mm and 77mm? Anyone know?
