We'll have to pay attention on the Aug 32. ;-) >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 8/25/2004 2:14:37 AM >>> G'day Peedeeemmellers, Anyone else noticed the trend in Pentax's recent announcements? Just pulling the days/dates off DPReview gives the last three (macro lenses,
two compacts, another two compacts) as being announced on: Sunday 8th Monday 16th and Tuesday 24th of August. An announcement every eight days. Could be coincidence, but I can't help wondering. So I'm obviously wondering whether we'll see this trend continue right up to photokina? They've obviously got the DSLR to announce at some stage, they must be pretty much out of compacts to announce, so maybe a lens or a flash or somesuch? I wonder whether they'll release a new lens with the budget DSLR? I don't think the 18-35mm would be a great one to bundle with it, and the 16-45's a little pricey. Personally I'd be barracking for a DA or a D-FA 35mm f2. But I'm dreaming as usual. Maybe we can expect a budget 18-70 or similar? P.S. - Speculation at its utmost point, but who else reckons that the silver and black colour scheme will be implemented on the new DSLR? At least the new compacts with this look pretty cool. I still reckon that an interchangable shell, mobile-phone-style, would be a clever thing to do. David
