Some information....

OK, found it thanks. It's called Frame Number for the *istD.

Chris,

I wouldn't mind snagging one of these myself - I phoned the mail order number today, the girl I spoke to took my name and phone number but she didn't seem confident that she could reserve one for me .
Will they be offered via the forum before they go on general sale ?

Yup, would like to know that as well seeing they are not on the web site to order.
Would be interested in that DA* 200mm thats on Ebay as well (less Ebay and Paypal charges :wink

I'm also highly interested in the K20D and Ive almost persuaded the "bankmanager"

Chris, do you have any more details??

Yes the temperature info is nice The lens ID isn't always correct, especially with third party lenses. And even I found the Shutter count line in PhotoMe (apart from other infos like the focusing point used to focus being red in the preview figure, etc.

I have 2 left when they finally arrive into me. I would need to know ASAP if anyone wants one. If I could get 50 they would sell out straight away!! The fairest way would be a PM confirming that one is required. While I have a tiny number left to sell at the moment, Pentax know that I am after a good quantity, so it hopefully wouldn't be too long for me to get some more

Too late on the 200mm Mike - someone beat you to it!

The K20D have only been offered to forum members as the quantity available is small.

Chris

Well I definately want one but as Im not back in the UK for a few weeks I can wait until then so if the others want to jump in, not a problem.

Chris,

I definitely want one - PM sent

Haydn

All gone for now - will post when I get some more.

Chris

At that price Chris, I suspect you can sell just as many as they can give you!

Oof! I have one of these pre-ordered with SRS and hope they're able to give a bit of a discount on the RRP if it's that much

Slight typo - K-m has £30 cashback from launch.

Don't worry Chirpy - I will sort you out a good price!

Chris

Thanks Chris!

Chris, off the USA Pentax forum HERE
Quote: I called sigma today to get info on the 120-400 HSM lens and they told me they put it on the back burner for now,. They said that they are for the time being done with Pentax mount lenses.. When I asked why, they said they already have the largest selection of third party lenses and with Pentax NOT coming out with full frame, they need to turn their attention to the full frame market

Are we getting it and not the yanks or is someone wrong here, I want to put my 135-400mm on Ebay before the 120-400mm becomes available but if its not coming out then I would rather keep the one I have.

Thanks.

So if I understand you correctly, Sigma are not going to be producing any Pentax mount lenses :

Wow I can see the price of second hand Pentax mount Sigmas skyrocketing in the near future.
If I were you Mike I would keep that Sigma for a while yet as the value is going up I expect.
