M, I was trying the DA's - 60-250/4, 200/2.8, 15/4, 55/1.4 was a bit slower. This was all compared to my usual kit of limited FA lenses. Regards, Bob S. On Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 12:12 PM, Miserere wrote: > Bob, > > When you say: > > "And the USM motors in the new lenses are a bit unnerving. > They

Has anyone asked him about fixing the defective focus point selection mechanism? That's my major concern. Paul On May 31, 2009, at 8:38 AM, Bob Sullivan wrote: John Carlson from Pentax HQ in Colorado was at GFM. He brought all the toys, 2 new K7's, the DA60-250, DA55, plus the DA15, DA35, DA20

John Carlson from Pentax HQ in Colorado was at GFM. He brought all the toys, 2 new K7's, the DA60-250, DA55, plus the DA15, DA35, DA200, DA300 and other lenses I'd seen before. The K7 is everything it is said to be. Smaller, faster, better than the K20D. Folks were impressed by the captured image q
