Both the D-FA 24-70/2.8 and the D-FA 15-30/2.8 lenses appear to be rebadged Tamrons. However, the most famous lens designer working for Pentax during the FA*-series era (Mr. Jun Hirakawa, designer of the FA* 1.4/85mm) now works for Tamron, hence there must be some Pentax heritage in above new "Pentax" lenses.

Paul, its a Tamron lens, and is supposed to be pretty good. Pentax puts their own coating on it.

The forthcoming 15-30 and 70-200 are also Tamron lenses. They are also supposed to be good.

But in some ways Pentax never learns. They are still putting the SDM label on new lenses.

So what are Pentax's lens designers doing?
