Originally posted by mee The item that piques my interest is that DA zoom. Not sure if that's a fresh addition or not. But it looks to be roughly in the range of the DA* 16-50mm, so maybe its finally going to get an update to go with the K-New.
The only problem is that it is shown as a DA zoom, not a DA*, so while it might be a 16-50 f2.8, it wouldn't be at the same quality relative to the rest of the lineup...
Maybe a replacement for the 17-70 f4?
I have the same concern with the suggestion that the telephoto zoom is a DA* 60-250 f4 replacement... the roadmap suggests a full frame D FA, not a * lens.
I think the 70-300-ish variable aperture lens is more likely...
And I still think there is the possibility of lenses that aren't on the roadmap...
The 16-50 could be replaced with a DA* 16-50 II without changing the roadmap at all... and based on prior suggestions that it's being worked now, that wouldn't surprise me.
