Live from Photokina: Pentax news

Yesterday, BJP revealed that Pentax had announced a new entry-level digital SLR, the K-m.

Sporting a 10.2 million pixel resolution 23.5x15.7mm sensor, the K-m has a compact, lightweight body, made possible by the development of a new stainless-steel chassis, the downsizing of the Shake Reduction mechanism and circuit boards, and the repositioning of the battery compartment.

And to complement this new DLSR, Pentax also developed two new lenses, the smc Pentax-DA L 18-55mmF3.5-5.6AL and the smc Pentax-DA L 50-200mmF4-5.6ED.
But that's not the only news coming from Pentax, they have also released an interesting chart of their lens strategy. The Lens Development Roadmap shows every single smc lens and where they fit in Pentax' range. Check it out here.

Pentax has also announced the launch of the AF160FC dedicated auto macro flash. This new accessory flash unit is designed for advanced close-up applications using the automatic exposure-control system of Pentax DSLR cameras.

The macro flash allows for uniform lighting on the subject in order to minimize disturbing shadow areas. It features a P-TTL auto flash system to constantly assure the proper exposure level by measuring the flash’s pre-discharge with the camera’s image sensors and assessing the subject’s lighting condition with the camera’s multi-pattern metering system.
