Pentax 560mm f5.6

Post by Gerbrand »

En het is dus een f5.6 geworden.

Aan de ene kant had ik gehoopt op iets lichtsterkers, maar aan de andere kant is deze misschien betaalbaar.


En verder nog een aantal producten aangekondigd, die voor onze hobby minder van belang zijn.

Nu maar hopen dat hij snel beschikbaar komt. Ik ben reuze benieuwd naar het prijskaartje en de eerste tests natuurlijk.

Daar gaat me vakantie geld... de MRSP wordt in Amerika gegokt op ongeveer $2000 en daarmee wil ik dus gokken dat de lens ongeveer 1800 Euro gaat kosten (1506.7 + btw)

Het gerucht gaat, dat het een demontabele lens wordt.
Volgens onderstaand foto zou er een stuk tussenuitgehaald kunnen worden. Een soort teleconverter aan de voorkant.
400mm F4 en 560mm F5.6??? Of kun je de lichtstop meer niet in dezelfde verhouding nemen met 1,4x mm minder? Dat zou wel die 'gekke' 560 mm verklaren ipv. 500mm of 600mm

Pentax will announce their new DA 560mm f/5.6 lens at Photokina. The design will be slightly different from the prototype we have seen few months ago. The peculiarity of this lens is the possibility to disassemble/collapse it for easy transportation. The lens is very long for its focal length in order to keep the price down - a long focus design provides lower optical aberrations without raising cost. The price is still unknown, but it is expected to be lower than similar lenses from other manufacturers. The Pentax DA 560mm f/5.6 lens is expected to be in stores in the first quarter of 2013.
