DA18-270 is to be Marketed on December 13

(in Japanese)

Btw, the file name of the high resolution product image which is linked in the above page is "t-da18-270mm_F35-63ed_sdm.jpg". So, what does the "t" letter mean and represent? Tamron?!


After all, RP is just so honest! Do they really need to tell this again even though all people already knew! >:-o

As for the price, whilst it is said to be "opened". I guess this lens will not be cheap, with reference to the price of the original Tamron version that is already on sales in the market for quite some time now.

"t" like telephoto ?

I think so "t" means like "telephoto" because HD PENTAX-DA 560mmF5.6ED AW's filename is same: "t-da560mm_F56ed_aw.jpg" and the another example: D FA MACRO 100mmF2.8 WR named as "m-dfa-macro-100f28wr.jpg". "m" like "macro".

560mm -> http://www.pentax.jp/japan/products/lens/image/bi...
100mm -> http://www.pentax.jp/japan/products/lens/image/bi...

looks like U R right
Yep, I was too sensitive!
I am thrilled, not. ;)
Why does the lens have an af/mf-switch? Pentax cameras have such a switch already on the body.

I have the 18-250 variant, quite a good lens, and the 18-270 is said to be evebn a little bit better

Trap/catch-in focus with lens in manual-mode and camera in automatic mode possible ??
I use this combination with other lenses and it's a nice feature for many situations.
My macro does not supply this switch, so i had to mask the corresponding pin.
I think it cannot be done. The MF switch in lens is supposed to completely switch the operation to full manual focus mode.
ehh rebranded tamy 28-75 would be great. I have one and on k200 it's outstanding.
The original price in Germany and France is to be 829Euros. However even in the pre-orders the price dropped to 749Euros. http://www.idealo.de/preisvergleich/OffersOfProdu...
