The Pentax (designers) Way
Personally I can't say i've ever noticed any PF on my copy...will reserve judgement on it until I've read the reviews but wonder just how much optical improvement there could be given that the form factor remains the same.
I hope its not more of an exercise in profit gouging.
On a more positive note i'm eagerly awaiting the new 70-300...would be nice to see that out before Christmas.

A question is only easy when you know the answer ..
The Q I have is will it be any better that the very very good 55-300 HD WR PLM lens ?
It will be for people who use a K1.

The post over on that forum will no doubt battle out the negatives (no focus limiter, old style AF, etc) against the positives (PF reduction) - but what I take from this announcement is the dedication and effort that an employee of Ricoh is prepared to put in to make a small but significant improvement.
