I wouldn't be surprised if it's a Tokina design, but Tokina does pretty good wide-angled stuff. With Pentax QA, and sealed with SDM, a DA* 11-16 f2.8 SDM would rock. Pentax will likely announce it in January if they're going to do a version of this lens. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
