defenitely k-mount. no rorschach. all the other dfa lenses i know, are macro lenses. And 2 more FF lenses for k-mount shown at photokina 2014, of which one is supposed to be est. 70-200mm(according to the lens roadmap on the ricoh-website) wich is a very popular "focal-length-bandwidth" for FF, do very likely lead to the assumption, that the FF is nearly here. According to what the rumor-mill is grinding we can expect something totally different. AND There is that thing with the 3 elements on the lenses... Everybody who had the guts to take a closer look at those beasts,(*roar*)
(or a look from the side to the part of the lens, that was facing the back of the display cabinet) should have discovered that there are 2 switches and 1 button.
In some other forum we were venturing guess, what those elements are good for, and to what tech those elements could lead us.
My guess was some kind of SR that is able to talk with the in-body-SR. Macro switch?? And go66amn!t what will the button be good for.
On the super-tele model there are def. 3 switches and one button.
1.) ?
2.) ?
3.) ?
4.) ?
Hmmm... Still sure that the next big thing is a new APS-C ?
(Don't get me wrong, i also won't bet important body parts on it, but it is VERY, VERY likely now, that FF is extremely close.)
I hope the following more close-up photos can bring you to mind, with what we are dealing with here.
