Re: Will Digital SLRs improve consumer 35mm zoom lenses?

[Leonard Paris]

I'd suggest that, while a person waits, she/he should acquire a nice Pentax 
digital P&S to use in the meanwhile.  That way, when the dream comes true, 
you will be that much ahead of the "digital darkroom" part of the game and 
not way behind the power curve.

Just a thought.

   Looking for primes for digital is a wise decision. Waiting for full
   frame is even wiser. Personally I couldn't care less for current
   Pentax zooms in the *ist d equation. The focal ranges are all
   scrambled up to the point of rendering it useless. Trans-standards
   become what, portrait zooms ? Tele-zooms are pushed towards the
   long end, where image quality drops anyway. Wide angle zooms barely
   fit the standard lens bill: we're back in the era where 35-70 was
   an amazing lens.
