For those who haven't seen them yet, official links for the new lens roadmap:-

And also the DA*55 & DA* 60-250

Lenses
Thanks for that.

The 60-250 must have had the longest gestation period of any lens

Sadly the rear converter seems as far away as ever

Bloodhound is what I call a boat. Oh for a spare million (and another three or four to run it.)

Just under a million is her current price (pounds sterling), quite a bargain as she has had a million spent on her restoration.

She is tiller steered, which must be quite interesting on a 63ft racing yacht

A couple of shots quickly grabbed on my work P & S camera whilst at a Business Event at the Southampton Boat Show.

"Bloodhound" is a very famous yacht, having been built by Camper & Nicholson in 1936.

She was owned by the Royal Family for quite a few years.

She is for sale for anyone with quite a few spare pennies

Isn't the 16-50 bigger and heavier?
Mike
Yes - it is bigger and heavier but you do not notice it when attached to a K10D / K20D.

If you go for it, would wholeheartedly recommend that you get the following 2 lenses

DA* 16-50 2.8
DA* 50-135 2.8
My standard kit is :

K10D + DA* 16-50 or DA* 50-135
and
K20D + DA* 50-135 or DA* 16-50
