Could you explain further? I was wondering why the long lenses were D-FA
too, and I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Not sure anyone replied

I use my 400 on a tripod where practical. But I frequently use it handheld as
well. For example when shooting birds in flight. For that both the speed of the
f4 lens and the SR of the K10D will give be a big advantage over my current
A4009/5.6 on the *istD.

I bet it's a mirror lens.

It is not on the new roadmap. But who knows if they plan to release
it after new 200 and 300 mm???

Because it doesn't make much sense to make long telephoto lenses with
restricted image circles. A 400/4 will be exactly equally long and have
exactly equally large front element in both D FA* form and
Yes, thats what the rumor said. Second half of 2007 after the D FA* 200/2.8

Perhaps because planned 200 and 300 are DFA and it seems that making
reduced circle long telephoto lenses doesn't make sens.

Should it be safe to assume then, 1) FF is still coming, 2) D-FA* 200
It's pretty simple, the only difference would be in the mount, as the
optical design is driven by the max aperture and required resolution.
And since the mount is essentially the same, why not make it full-frame?
There's a number of cases where such long lens designs were used for
both MF and

I doubt it. Upcoming 300 according to rumours is planned to be f4.0
not f4.5 like F* and FA* version ;-)

If they make it, I'll almost certainly buy it. All depends on the price.

At US$ 2000 I might be able to find a way to afford it. At US$ 2800 it
