Pentax-DA 16 - 45 mm Digital Lens

Pentax appear to have joined Nikon by announcing a new series of 'Digital Lenses' which are designed to provide an imaging circle smaller than 35 mm but large enough for the smaller 23.5 x 15.7 mm CCD's used. It's also clear indication that Pentax are happy with this sensor size and that the *ist D won't be their last digital SLR to use this size sensor. The Pentax-DA Zoom 16 - 45 mm F4 ED AL (tentative name) is a 2.8 times optical zoom lens and would provide the equivilent of a 24.5 - 69 mm field of view when used on the Pentax *ist D.
