Looks like, but SDM is fine for anything but action, and there's probably not a lot of call for a professional action lens at 50mm. Hopefully that takes $500 off the price and makes it lighter.

I wasn't expecting any more DA*s.... period. Pentax seems to be committed to having the best native APS-c lens line up out there. Something people constantly overlook in these types of threads.

OK< just curious, how many of you "I have to have a 50mm 1.4 modern lens" types are going to pre-order?
