I have recently bought a Samsung 35mm f2 lens, presumably the same as the Pentax equivalent. Although this is an auto focus lens I use it successfully on my Pentax ME Super and MX bodies and have been more than impressed with it.

The costs of developing a new product are enormous and the joint venture between Samsung and Pentax makes great commercial sense. Us consumers can only benefit from the real competition that now exists in the market place.

When (if) Samtax bring out a full frame DSLR camera I shall take a very close look at it
