Quote:Although the 560 is a very silly lens (old fashioned design with so-so IQ).Portrait lenses? See if Tamron is about to launch one, and then it may be "Penta-sized" in a very short order, a la the 15-30.
What the camera needs is a few really good portrait lenses, a normal, a few wide angle primes and the Pentamron 15-30mm, 24-70mm and 70-200mm f2.8 zooms. Then there is a base to build on.
And Sigma to offer lenses with the Pentax mount?
I just hope that finally there is a Pentax which has good AF accuracy/tracking.
It's a little bit discouraging that Pentax is already relying on rebranding for precisely half of their new lens announcements though. This from a maker that is supposedly enticing users by a unique lens expertise; otherwise why bother - you can just use a Canon / Nikon body and the same Tamron designs, but also with access to the vast trove of other OEM and third-party lenses.
