De curand Ricoh a anuntat o mutare mult asteptata de utilizatorii monturii Pentax K, mai exact, are in lucru un full frame. Iar de data aceasta se pare ca anuntul este cat se pare de serios, avand in vedere ca in trecut, anul 2001, a fost anuntat acelasi lucru.
Prototipul full frame de 6 megapixeli anuntat in 2001
Noul full frame va fi prezentat ca prototip la CP+ din Japonia care incepe pe data de 12 februarie. In acest moment nu exista detalii de nici un fel legat de aparat nici macar o denumire oficiala, zilele viitoare asteptam specificatiile si alte informatii aferente.
Anul 2015 se anunta foarte interesant pentru utilizatorii Pentax deoarece, pe langa acest aparat au fost anuntate doua obiective zoom mai exact : HD PENTAX-D FA * 70-200mm F2.8ED DC AW si HD PENTAX-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6ED DC AW ambele obiective compatibile full frame ( inca un indiciu ) si rezistente la umezeala si praf. 70-200 mm f2.8 este primul de acest gen din gama, iar 150-450 mm este cea mai mare focala din gama actuala Pentax.
Ambele obiective vor fi disponibile spre vanzare din luna martie cu un pret de: 2299 dolari pentru 70-200 mm respectiv 2499 dolari pentru 150-450 mm.
Odata cu aceste anunturi asteptarile pentru aceste produse vor fi foarte mari, daca se dovedesc a fi performante si de buna calitate Pentax poate atrage o multime de potentialii fotografi catre noua gama.

Press Release-ul Oficial
With the Introduction of the HD PENTAX D FA * 70-200mm F2.8 and the HD PENTAX D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6, photographers have exceptional lens options to use with current and future imaging sensor technology.
DENVER, Colorado, February 4, 2015- RICOH IMAGING AMERICAS CORPORATION is pleased to announce the launch of two new HD PENTAX D FA Lenses. Designed for use with current PENTAX K-mount DSLR cameras and future PENTAX sensor technology, these lenses offer ranges not found in previous PENTAX lens models, including a star-series telephoto zoom and super-telephoto zoom ideal for capturing clear images of distant subjects and weather resistant for shooting in all conditions.
The HD PENTAX D FA lenses feature a high-grade HD Coating which helps to produce extra-sharp, high-contrast images, minimizing flare and ghosting, even under demanding lighting conditions such as in backlight situations.
The HD PENTAX-D FA * 70-200mm F2.8ED DC AW has a brand new optical design in the PENTAX Star (*) series, which boasts the highest image quality of all PENTAX interchangeable lenses. In addition to the HD coating, this lens features Aero Bright Coating II, assuring exceptionally low reflectance. Thanks to its large- constant aperture design, the lens provides an accelerated maximum aperture of F2.8 at all focal lengths from 70mm to 200mm. In addition to four super-low dispersion glass elements and two ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements, its optics includes a pair of new Super ED glass elements to effectively compensate chromatic aberration over the entire zoom range and deliver crisp, high-resolution images with edge-to-edge sharpness. Its dustproof, weather-resistant body also makes it extremely dependable and durable in demanding outdoor conditions. This new lens boasts fast yet quiet internal focusing, zoom versatility, and an AF limiter switch which improves autofocus response time.
The HD PENTAX-D FA 150-450mm F4.5-5.6ED DC AW covers focal lengths from 150mm to 450mm — a focal-length range demanded by higher end PENTAX-camera users. Also incorporated are three ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and a super-low dispersion glass element to effectively compensate chromatic aberration. The highly desirable weather-resistance body protects the inside of the body from both dust and moisture, making it an extremely dependable and durable DSLR accessory in demanding outdoor conditions.
“Ricoh Imaging continues to provide quality and performance in lens construction,” said Jim Malcolm, President, Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation. “With the addition of two new zoom lenses, we demonstrate our commitment to helping photographers reach their full potential.”
