New DA Lenses Question

Just a thought,

I wonder if Samsung will be producing their own versions of the 2 new DA lens coming out, they might be cheaper who knows. They have done it with a few other lenses so far

Also just another thought

I wonder if in time will Sigma and tamron produce SDM lenses to fit the K10D and any new future cameras

Who knows...

...and they might be sharper in JPG mode too

Particularly with an extra couple of megapixels...

... at 72 dpi

Sigma have said they won't produce SDM lenses for Pentax until there are more cameras which support it.

Well there's the 10 and the 100D(S).

But you'd think it would be based on sales, not models, wouldn't you? Or at least the existence of a pro-level body with evidence of lots of people that would actually buy these lenses. I'm yet to be convinced that there's any pent-up demand for SDM from hordes of potential 100D(S) buyers.

£500, plus or minus, for one lens, isn't exactly a trivial investment for a lot of people. I won't be buying them when they come out - the best I can hope for, and that without any real expectation, is that it flushes a few of the lesser models out on to eBay at an accessible price.

I'm hoping with the arrival of the 100S that thy will start to produce them - I do still wonder if that is the reason for the world shortage of K fitting Bigmas at the mo.
