HD Pentax-D FA* 70-200mm f/2.8

I see the internet is starting to discuss this lens, but I've only found Japanese so far.

Very interesting. Full frame and *. I already have the Tamron version which I am very happy with, but will be looking forward to seeing how this new lens compares.

Is this the same discussed lens from a earlier post?

Yes, I posted this morning, giving the same link john has given.

John if you could merge the threads to avoid confusion in the coming days.


Thanks

With all of the postings from Vegas that concerned the new camera body release; not much press was given to the three new lenses. Guessing that this must be one of them.

Btw did anyone else happen to notice the available pictures of those somewhat featureless lenses? One of the features available, one could not happen to notice the lens barrel colors and other key items

Unfortunately the forum software won't merge threads. This duplication sometimes happens, so I'll close this one and put a link in to the other thread.
