Again, remember price point. For your willingness to spend the money
to get a 1DS (that's correct isn't it?) Canon is a far better line for
you to be in. Even though Pal disagrees with me, I think Pentax
caters to Pros in the medium format market. Their 35mm offerings are
really geared towards amateurs and hobbyists. Want to venture a guess
on how much that new Canon is going to cost?
Bruce, you are absolutely right. New wide-angle FAJ will be much, much
cheaper and affordable for almost everyone, who would need to add wide
angle lens to his DSLR setup. Tu buy Canon's L 17-35, you will need to
pay at least 2x or 3x price of new FAJ... Not to mention, that this FAJ
is probably 2x smaller and lighter - this count for many too. But of
course I hope Pentax will offer something similar to Canon anytime soon.
