Unrelated to the 1.4x, but I've been reviewing the recent posts of Asahi Man on dpreview. He recently said this: "Yes, Ricoh is the best for Pentax since a very long time.Hoya...Hoya fired Jun Hirakawa...Anybody knows who Jun Hirakawa is?"
Well I didn't, but I do now: http://camerapedia.wikia.com/wiki/Hirakawa_Jun Word is that he now works for Tamron and word is he was responsible "for the SP 24-70mm F2.8 Di VC USD lens which was announced last year. Sadly, there is no Pentax version for that." -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
