Err being in the Gulf, we get a lot of satellite TV. I know you also get Hotbird in the UK as it has one of the largest footprints in the world.Um...I challenge you to find a breast on any Professional Catwalk these days.

Fashion TV (FTV)is up to date shows of the latest catwalk events. It's full of bare flesh. Not that I have too much time to see it of course.

Dual or Multi systems are not an issue. It stands as testament to Pentax that they can still deliver the vitamins....
Vitamin A = Student
Vitamin B = Pentax SLR

The Oly being 4:3 rather than 3:2 of the Pentax would make a difference. Although I've had too many pints of Brains SA to do the maths at this present time.
It makes sense as my fish eye lenses are quoted as 180' diagonal. Other glass specifications never seem to quote that FOV is "diagonal".johnriley wrote:
When comparing fields of view in relation to the foacl length we need to take into account that the "1.5x" or whatever equivalence is approximate and also that field of view is measured on the diagonal, not the width.
Slightly different format shapes could account for discrepances as well.
Then the markings on a lens are also only approximate. A "50mm" lens, for example, will be around 50mm, but could be 47mm or 52mm or anything.....

The 50-135mm being a DA* lens would be considered a "pro" zoom I should imagine, rather than "consumer".
I think Mhuni is referring to lenses such as the 16-45 & 55-300.
Correct, I should have read his post properly. "consumer".The 50-135mm being a DA* lens would be considered a "pro" zoom I should imagine, rather than "consumer".

Another comparative issue is that Canikon also have FF with zooms for those so it seems a pointless discussion unless anyone has used other systems. The last price increases did not in my opinion help the cause as US and Australian prices are considerably lower.
I have just bought the 50-135 purely because a local dealer had it to clear at 499 pounds. That was the same price as the USA, but I saved shipping and should get the full UK warranty.
Surely, angle of view, not focal lengths is the way to compare?

That's an interesting comment re the Canon
I had thought of it - quite a lot of thought in fact and was reasonably happy
TILL
I found how much of it was plastic - and having had horrendous problems with a white plastic MacBook which developed umpteen cracks in it's case [ long story ] I decided to rule the Canon out - hence it's the bottom of the list now
My new 'toy' will be coming from the Big Apple during a retail therapy trip
Bid Apple = B&H and Adorama. Tri State are also good. Do Not Buy from a Brooklyne store!!!
