It's the 60-250/f4 that's coming around December...

Thanks for the information.
Presumably the dimensions stated in the Pentax announcements for the first two lenses refer to the lens off the camera with both the lens and K-mount caps in place ?

Do aany of the independant makers do a 2.8 zoom at a sensible price?
Whats so great about this staggeringly expensive Pentax glass anyway?....when all is said and done, it's a ZOOM LENS!!!!....it's not like it was a high quality prime....nobody will be getting any really big prints using it, it's only a convenience and 'walkaround' lens.

Those are famous last words my friend...
So as usual we are going to have to pay over a hundred quid over the odds for the privelege of buying this lens here in the UK......
