I bought the Velbon sherpa pro CF7, 170cm high and 0,76kg which I'm happy with.
For the head I went for a ballhead but I would go for an off centre ball head instead.
I just found out they are quite hard to find... there are the Gitzo GH2750QR & GH3750QR but they are pricey and the heads are quite larger.

ps. the Gitzo GM3551 also looks great...
I know I got an expensive taste

I think Pentax were heavily involved with the K20D and possibly the K-7 to a small degree ... from now on it's purely Hoya so they may do things a bit differently.
They said they want to make it more regular, maybe SRS can fill us in?

To help you decide between HSM or not:
HSM vs non-HSM

Apparently the distortion is a mixed bag, the vignetting as well, CA are worse in the new version. MTF data would have to be compensated for difference in sensor limits, but seems to have improve, maybe.
Problem is though one is on the 350D and the other on the 50D so not 100% comparable

It`s hard to believe but my K7 is fast approaching a year old now so i would be surprised if something new was not in the air!
It seems there is a period of 1,5 years between each model so announcement would be in October and release in December would seem to be logical.

But if you don't do macro photography then I don't think anyone can justify the cost of one because it doubles up good as a portrait lens

Still with the DA40 it's just priceless if one of the other brands shooters walks up to you to warn you that you still have the lenscap/mountcap on the body

That one us close to the 40mm so I think you should chose.

Mmmm...pancakes...
Don't forget the DA15 and maybe the DFA100mm WR, I know it isn't a pancake but it wouldn't fall much out of place with the aluminum body.
