Error Weight of DA* 60-250.

bertwert · 01-02-2017, 05:30 PM

The weight of the 60-250 in the review database is incorrect.
It states 1120g (36.7 oz.) whereas it should actually be 1040g (36.7 oz.)

Thanks.

1120g is the weight with the hood (and without the tripod foot). It would be nice if the database gave the different options or at least indicated which it was giving. Consistency across the entries would be good too, I checked a few others and they were hood less weights.

Ricoh's websites are also inconsistent, the German one seems the most complete for this lens: smc PENTAX-DA*60-250 mm F4 ED [IF] SDM - RICOH IMAGING DEUTSCHLAND GmbH

I've updated the weight to 1040g. Since we specify the hood model for each lens, the total weight can be calculated that way, and thus the number currently shown in our databases should exclude the hood.
