Two New Pentax dSLR Lenses

Pentax will be showing two new K-mount lenses for their dSLR cameras at Photokina, a wide angle to long telephoto zoom lens and a single focal length long telephoto lens.

The DA 18-270mm lens appears to be a re-packaged Tamron that has shown itself to be a quality performer in other lens mounts. Why is it going to be priced $150 higher than Canon or Nikon mounts though?

The DA 560mm F5.6 is the first really long telephoto Pentax has come out with in a long time. From what we’ve heard it’s going to be VERY expensive (around $7,000.00) so we’re not sure just how many of these lenses Pentax will be able to sell.
