RICOH ANNOUNCES AVAILABILITY OF HD PENTAX-D FA★50mm F1.4 SDM AW STAR-SERIES LENS

Reed · 07-14-2018, 04:31 AM

I'm quite sure that this "xx's Rumors" sites dude don't have any intel sources on his own or is anyhow related to specyfic brand or camera market part, his sites just copy&rewrite things from forums- no matter if it's some user speculation or actual leak from more reliable source. When it comes to non-English parts, there might be such confusing translation error as this one.

Peter has modified his Pentax Rumors article. There is no delay any more but a shortage.

I supppose I shouldn’t have been so aggressive (Disqus ID = Conserve Liberty) but not listening to facts is annoying.

srs tend to buy quite aggressively, for want of a better word - I suspect they will have stock to see them through the initial demand - it would be good to know if anyone (uk based) is going to the event

The best work is to get some photos out into those websites ASAP.

I regret that I hesitated, now, but it seems I'll have a little more time to straighten out the finances before I finally decide.

I just read more about this new 50, and I'm disappointed to find that it's incompatible with my K-5. While I have been wondering about upgrading to a newer body, I don't have any concrete plans to do so, and the new KAF4 aperture control makes this lens off-limits for me. I guess my bank account will be pleased, but my camera bag will not be....
