Originally posted by serothis I guess It would be nice to have more options. And if pentax could come up with a protocol to get in lens stabilization and SR to work together that could be huge.
Ricoh are interested in selling Pentax lenses, not helping Sigma (etc) compete more easily.
I think it would only make sense for Ricoh to have a combined in-lens plus in-body stabilization protocol if they launched their own lenses with in-lens stabilization.
Then, would they have two version of various lenses, one with and one without in-lens stabilization? Or have just one version which they sell at a higher price than if it didn't have in-lens stabilization? Or what?
In the meantime, I want Ricoh to put their limited design and development resources into adding to the various benefits of moving-sensor technology, and towards launching more lenses.
