If the link expires do a search for 100mm
interesting, if you search for the word PENTAX on their site all you get is the 16-45mm

They are almost certainly the same. It is possible the lens coating is different, but personally I doubt it.
I agree. I have the Samsung version and you get a nice green/blue refection off the front glass so it has some sort of coating. It just does not say SMC on it which I guess is because this trade mark is exclusive to Pentax.
The lens is not recognised by the Pentax Photo browser so I guess that it writes a different lens id into the exif data. PhotoMe returns a lens id of 4+56+0. I guess this might mean you will not get any auto lens correction with this lens version on a K-7 but I assume that this is probably not needed on a 100mm prime.

I believe they are the same lens, just dressed differently. Is this true?
Anyone have any experience of the samsung?
