Well one of them at least still says Pentax on it
Still it's not confirmed and any good photoshopper can turn a green ring red?
Anyway saw it and thought to inform...

I don't mind, they will probably double the prices of the lenses once done.Now you're "old hat", "green ring" Ltd's are worth fifty pence!
Anyway, nice to see they have been concentrating on the important stuff rather than on something frivolous like a WR teleconverter or 100-400mm lens.

No doubt they will not be cheaper Mike!
Well it's at least something?
I'm curious to see if any of the Lenses on the Road Map ever make the light of day as I'd be very interested in that 120ish-380ish Zoom but only if they weather seal it...
Just popped over the Yankee Doodle site and their thread is onto five pages already, and guess what, the Sky has fallen in, Oh yeah... Got to love em.

Sounds interesting, circular apertures are good, the new HD coating sounds good.
Best regards, John

HD doesn't sound as good as SMC New buyers won't even
notice it.
I knew Ricoh wouldn't be sitting back doing nothing on
the development side!
My green half of the drainpipe I might paint it red.

Wonder if they will give the DA*'s the HD treatment too?

Today, Pentax also announced two new flashes - so they have not had time to develop the DA* 250-600 yet!jules wrote:
