Godders, I sold my A28/2.0 about 1.5 years ago. It had a very slight dent in the area where the filter screws on, but not enough to prevent the filter or lens hood from working properly. I sold it for about $385.00, IIRC - certainly more than $350.00. Shel [Original Message] From: Godfrey

Re: a NEW Pentax-A 28mm f/2 lens just sold on Ebay ...

Someone sent me an item number on the German Ebay site last night, after hearing of my desire for a Pentax 28mm f/2 lens. There was a NEW one listed from someone in Germany. and there was also K28/2 on Italian eBay http://tinyurl.com/ysj233 Cheers, Peter -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail

Roman, well, guys from Nordic Digital (Photopoint)* will tell you exactly the same news as anyone in here MINUS rumors. What you wrote, is exactly what we all were told at Photokina 2006. Three lenses, will be intorduced '03 2007 and later. Want more? Look for a news from Tokina. BR, Margus

I saw 60-250/4 at Photokina and it is not small lens. It is about size of Sigma EX 70-200/2.8 that I had, just with 67 mm filter. 60-250 with constant f4 aperture just can't be small, no matter what image circle it produces. Cheers, Sylwek On 2007-02-11, at 13:47, J. C. O'Connell wrote:

Re: Three new Pentax DA star lenses: any knowledge?

You miss my point, the design constraints placed on lenses to maintain both autofocus methods are greater than those placed on the camera body to retain legacy support for older lenses. In one you have to maintain mechanical linkages, where as in the other you only have to run wires so to

Re: Three new Pentax DA star lenses: any knowledge?

I'd say that the replacement for K100 will get SSM and replacement of that one will be SSM-only. A potential K1000 could be SSM-only if Pentax comes with 18-55/50-200 updated with SSM (17-70 anyone?). 2007/2/11, K.Takeshita [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On 2/11/07 11:31 AM, P. J. Alling, [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Some time ago, I posted a hearsay from a camera reviewer that some big announcements be made in CES in Las Vegas. Obviously, it did not meet in time for it, but it is predicted that some major announcements be made in many areas including sensor technologies and new lenses in coming PMA.
