Yeah an f/2 or f/1.8 would have been better but if the price is right I can forgive them and call it a fast lens

I use it in two scenarios:
1) action, when i know what shutter speed will freeze motion, and what depth of field i want to be able to nail the focus.
2) low light, when I want to call the shots on how slow i can hand hold and what aperture i want.
Wouldn't Manual mode with Auto ISO be almost the same as TAv?i meant crucial for me, not for a camera.

Don't know if the K-R has that options.

That's very challenging to do you know.No scenery ( or at least, not the landscape type) as I climb in an indoor climbing centre.

The problem is to have a nice angle since you can get into some awkward poses with climbing and looking only at the butt isn't always pleasant
The best way is to get up the wall yourself with the camera and shoot while they climb up.
Also be aware of the yellow walls they can through your white balance off.

If DAL 35 gets an advice price off £179 I wouldn't be surprised to she it in the stores for £149 maybe even lower.
The DA 35 Limited on the other hand is £459 a very different price range and not something beginners will buy I believe.
The DAL35 will be the modern equivalent of what the 50mm f/1.7 were in the old days.

Not sure what Pentax's marketing department is playing at though. They now have two completely different lenses called the "DA35", nice consistent message there *facepalm*

The limited is a very different lens, the DAL35 doesn't have the build quality, quick-shift or macro capability the DA35 Ltd has. I don't think many who have the K20D or the K7 will buy the DAL35.It might not be lightning fast, but I'm interested enough in this to be hesitant about ordering a DA35 Limited. Anyone know when it'll be out/available for reviews?

Finally, I always shoot RAW, does the high ISO noise reduction setting have any effect on the RAW file or only the JPEG?
RAW is raw data from the sensor with the least amount of camera adjustments and that includes noise reduction.Finally, I always shoot RAW, does the high ISO noise reduction setting have any effect on the RAW file or only the JPEG?
So there is no noise reduction applied to RAW only to JPG.
The noise reduction does have influence on the JPG preview inside the RAW.
About noise reduction on the PC.
Topaz has make an instruction video for their product it might also be useful for other noise reductions link
I would suggest to do noise reduction at home if you want the best quality when you're shooting with JPG.
The software at home is more powerful and keep more details and you can adjust them just right with the controls you've.

That's the Advice price but most of the time it lays in the shop under that price so don't worry Is it only me or does this look a bit pricey???
Btw the DA L 35mm f/2.4 looks good you know.

If it goes for the same price as the DA L 18-55 goes for now I wouldn't argue with that At the same time they seem to listen to the calls for fast, cheap, normal prime (well, "fast" is debatable...)
It will be the must have beginner lens then.

It is also compatible with the IrSimple™ high-speed infrared data transmission system for wireless data transfer to IrSimple-compatible devices, and for swift image data exchange and match-game playing between two PENTAX K-r’s.Infra red???? Isn't that a bit passe?
Sounds interesting though, first time seeing something like that.
Can you also control flashguns with that?

There also have wireless chargers these days so you can just leave your camera in the bag Although something I think would be a very good idea would be a wireless or bluetooth connection in camera so when I get home I can (assuming I'm on the first card of the day) I can just copy all the files to my PC without the fiddly cables.
