Ouch - that's about ¥400,000 list here. If that rings true in Japan my dealer will have a heart attack when he's at CP+ as he's told several of us now to expect a lower price. I see a deeper discount coming

True for MF AF SLR but actually there are several MF manual focus/metering cameras and at least 5 other lenses 24mm and below that can be used with existing full frame MF backs (53x40mm) - the problem is most folks here probably can't afford them or don't need them as they're hobbyists more so than full time landscape or architectural professionals.
Originally posted by ogl I don't know wider lense than DFA25/4 for MF.
The big question I have now though is how will the new 25mm perform on a FF MF sensor? Of course we won't know unless Pentax eventually releases a FF MF digital - which is a pretty big gamble in my mind.
