its tiny.... (the k-m) http://forums.dpreview.com/for...m=1036&thread=29435757 Check it out. i would like to see a comparison between it and u4/3. I'm sure the latter is smaller, but i'm curious by how much

I'm interested in that TC for sure...thinking about picking up a 55-300, and if i toss on that TC I can push just over 600mm =)

now let us see if they will announce a successor to the K20D...probably not :x glad to see a 55mm weather sealed, as well as 15mm wide angle

that 60-250/4 looks very tempting

weather sealed, constant f4, and sdm
i wonder if its any lighter than the sigma 100-300/4

 

[Heidfirst]

it ought to be as if I understand correctly it's designed for APS-C design rather than full frame (which the Sigma is) so less glass needed etc.
