I'd love both. I'd hold off on buying a sea kayak for either of them.

I want the DA* 400/4

jbcampbell · 07-02-2009, 06:59 AM

Ditto, I would love to see them both but I would sell a kidney for a DA* 400/4

Cosmo · 07-02-2009, 07:06 AM

I had already heard about the 400mm, it was on a photo of a new lens map that I don't think had been officially released.

Haven't heard of a 11-16mm, but that would be amazing if Pentax go through with it. Would go so nicely with the 16-50 and 50-135mm.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

Art Vandelay II · 07-02-2009, 07:13 AM

I've got the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and it's a wonderful wide angle lens no doubt. But the zoom range is so small on it I basically use it like a very large prime lens. I think the new Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 would better suit me.
