17.3mm Delos ?

[spaceboy]

Would I be correct in saying there is also a 17.3mm Delos ?

Yup

Also there are (or will be soon) the 3.5, 4.5, 6.0, 8.0, 10, 12, 14 and the 17.3mm Delios.

Thanks John. How do they price up against the Pentax now that TV put their prices up ?

[johninderby]

Most of the Delios line are £295.00 except the 17.3 that's £355.00. FLO has the equivalent Pentaxs at £255.00, but I notice that most of the other Pentax dealers have put their XWs up to £349.00 or thereabouts so I wouldn't be surprised if FLO increases their prices soon.

Ouch

The Delos will gain some sales momentum from that rise

[johninderby]

I looked around a bit more and the new price for the XWs seems to be in the £330.00 to £350.00 range with a couple still at £255.00. I suppose it means buy an XW now if you want one.

I just sold my pentax set as I am a televue man Hope the delos can put up a good contest. Anyone got an idea of when the new focal lengths come on sale? Some are saying the performance outweighs an ethos!

[spaceboy]

As far as I am aware the 17.3mm is already being sold in the US. This is why I asked as I was not aware of any in the UK yet ?

[spaceboy]

I see widescreen center are advertising the full line up for sale in autum at £295 each.
