It looks different than Pentax 35mm F2.8 Macro Limited, but the specs and announcement date (jast a week after Pentax) says that this lens is one more child of Pentax and Tokina cooperation in lens development. Tokina's version of 50-135mm is also looks different but the both shares the same optical design.</p> <p><img src="http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/static/image/2007/03/19/tokina_01.jpg" /></p> <p><a href="http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/lens/2007/03/19/5861.html" rel="nofollow">http://dc.watch.impress.co.jp/cda/lens/2007/03/19/5861.html</a></p> <p>Pentax DA 35mm Limited will feature better coating (SMC) and will be more compact. Now I have understood <a href="http://pentaxlife.com/john-carlson-on-star-lenses-and-645d">why John Carlson called DA 35mm F2.8 Limited the "pancake"</a>. </p>
