Question about Pentax 60-250 lens.

The upcoming Pentax 70-210mm F4 will be roughly the same weight and does not come with a foot. That suggests the 60-250 should be fine.

But the DFA 70-210 does not extend when zooming. At its long end, the DA* 60-250 would be significantly more front-heavy

Thanks everyone for the info. Asked because the 60-250 might not fit in a lens pocket of my smallest camera bag. The A* 200 macro fits fine, but the 250 jumps from 58 to 67mm filter theads and the tripod collar foot looks really tall. If it doesn't fit, I can remove the foot for storage and re attach when using a tripod.

The lens is already on the way.
Thanks,
barondla

Oh it's about space, I didn't think of that. The foot is super easy to remove and put back on. It's a great design.
