14 DAY TRIAL // Apart from the announcements made today by Nippon camera and optics manufacturer Ricoh regarding its lineup for the upcoming CP+ Camera & Photo Imaging Show, the company also updated the K-mount lens roadmap.
The new K-mount roadmap reveals yet another lens planned to be announced this year. The new optic will be a telephoto zoom lens with a focal length of 70-200mm. What's even more interesting is that Ricoh didn't specify whether this lens would be part of its Pentax-DA series for APS-C format cameras.
Could this mean that Ricoh is preparing to launch a new full frame lens as part of its Pentax-FA series? This will remain a mystery until the company decides to add the DA/FA moniker in a future update of its K-mount lens roadmap.
The Pentax maker also revealed today that it would present its latest 645D medium format system digital SLR camera along with a new 645-mount lens at the upcoming CP+ 2014 show.
