What gives with the Pentax USA web site???

I was just checking their site http://www.pentaxusa.com to find some
info on lenses for the K10D. Here are the things I noticed that
bothered me: when looking at the camera page, there was no mention of
lenses and no easy way to get there without going back out to a
different menu. Then when I did find the lenses, and looked at the
50-200 zoom, there was no mention of max aperture! I'm assuming it's
something like f/3.5 to f/5.6 based on the small filter size, but I
just can't figure why they don't have that info in the specs! Boggles
the mind.

A large company with a sucky web site surprise you? What should be
surprising in finding one that is actually easy to use and has useful
information. Now that would be a surprise.

Try http://www.pentaxslr.com/lenses/lens_50_200

Still not the greatest web site ever, but better. Gives a link to
download a PDF of specs.

The lens is F4-5.6 by the way.
