Originally posted by NogBoy13 I see the road map doesnt list the 11-16 lens... or as is most likely... Pentax will not allow Tokina
to offer the lens in a K mount. I love the K-5, its a stellar camera, but my next will most likely be
a competing brand (something like the Fuji X100 perhaps) due to the Pentax penchant for missing
the bloody obvious - yet again. Having been with the brand since 1972 its going to be a wrench, but
I have been peed off just once too often. Hoya's lens price hike was the first straw... this will be (for me)
the last.
Why not just get the 12-24? It's an excellent lens for a zoom.
Hoya raising prices was an expected correction. It was Pentax being the cheap and dirty brand that put them in the buyout situation in the first place, I fail to see the logic in being annoyed by Hoya wanting to make some money.
Or say goodbye. If inanimate objects can cause you that much annoyance, then finding some inanimate objects that don't annoy is important for your health.
