| Lens review section: adding DA 18-55 II? | |
| 04-03-2008, 05:56 PM | #2 |
 Originally posted by Ivan Glisin  Shouldn't we have DA 18-55 II as a separate entry in the lens review section? Since the "II" has clearly different optical formula I believe it deserves separate section and separate reviews. Based on some comments and tests so far DA 18-55 II reviews will certainly be different and the average rating should not be affected by the existing ratings for the older DA 18-55. Makes sense?

| Originally posted by Adam Is the difference really that big? If it is, I'll go ahead and add it! Pentax Zoom Lenses with Short Focal Lengths Summary: Optical formula is different: old 12 elements in 11 groups, new 11 elements in 10 groups. The new one is 5g lighter. Pentax also claims that front and rear element coating is different. Finally, first tests indicate improved corner sharpness at 18mm and 55mm as well as improved close up sharpness at 55mm. Definitely different and hence it should have a separate entry. Also: DA 55-300 is almost there (already listed at Amazon and Henry's) so you can add that one too in one shot. | |
