Interesting that the Tamron 70-200 and 28-75 are selling so well. Actually, the 70-200 has been the best selling K-mount lens on kakaku.com for ages, but not the 28-75. It looks like a lot of K-1 purchasers are getting themselves a very economical f2.8 lens set with the camera. I wonder if this will persuade 3rd parties to keep/start offering K-mount models.
This week is the Golden Week holiday in Japan. It is probably a big weekend for shopping, which would explain why both Ricoh and Nikon made sure their cameras were available on April 28. It's interesting that two such long awaited cameras at around the same price came out on the same day. Of course the D500 is selling more, but the K-1 is close behind. I'm just glad to see people on both sides finally getting what they have wanted, and apparently being pretty well satisfied.
