I don't suppose anyone actually knows, but what's your gut feeling?

Early I reckon - Feb/Mar/Apr.

Feb/Mar/Apr I hope... any ideas on what price it might be?? If such a lens arrives I am thinking I might trade in my Sigma 70-300mm...

Regards

They might launch it as kit lens instead of the DA50-200.
I think early 2011 is the date.
You don't have that as option though so couldn't vote....

"Not for ages and ages" would be the appropriate vote for that.

I'm hoping it's sooner, otherwise I'll get an ordinary (non WR) version to replace my Tamron 70-300.

My guess is that the price will end up the same as the current version, but will be 25 to 50% higher to start with.

"Not for ages and ages" sounds so long though, not a year...
I came to that date since the DA55-300 DAL was also launched with the K-X camera so you probably need to wait till the next WR camera is launched.
