Originally posted by LFLee Why, then the XS lenses were advertise to use only on mirrorless camera?
Comparing with and without 40mm lens price of K-01, the lens is only $150..... great price.
Hope Pentax Ricoh undo Hoya crazy price increase on lenses and come out with more reasonable pricing on new lenses.
Will definitely get one if they are fully compatible with old cameras...
Well, it certainly works well on a K-5/K-r/K-x (that's what we tested today I think). Pity I only got an MX film camera w/ me right now, otherwise I don't mind shooting one roll of film w/ this new lens to test out
We compared the glass (size mostly) between this new 40 XS and the 40 Ltd, really hard to tell if there is any difference at all. The aperture blades are a little bit curved, so the new lens might produce a bit round high light background at F4 to F5.6 (sorry I only used the lens wide open, never really stopped it down yet) like the DFA100WR macro.
