There was an FA* 250-600 it would of course fits perfectly in the range with the DA* 60-250 if the remake it into a DA* I'm very much with you John, or at least something a bit longer than 300mm. Basically a Pentax alternative to my Sigma 150-500.

Yeah I said it but my Japanese isn't so good and after some better reading it seems you can still order them.I thought so too, but I did read somewhere that it is being discontinued. If so, better get our orders in quickly!

1,350,000 yen without TAX so £9670 then of course you must add 17,5% VAT and import tax as well I believe...
Still a beauty though.

DA 400mm seems likely
What I really would like to see is a longer limited lens something like a 135mm f/2.5
And of course the DA30mm f/1.4 and the 1.4 SDM TC which where promised to us a year ago
As for camera's, a model between the current two, something like what the K200D was and maybe even an higher model then the K7, something like the Canon 7D.

I hate to think what a new 600mm f4 DA* lens would cost...but I would quite like an 80-400mm and I think that is achievable given the will to do it.
I believe it is around the £4500 without TAX, they still do it on order if I'm right.I hate to think what a new 600mm f4 DA* lens would cost...but I would quite like an 80-400mm and I think that is achievable given the will to do it.

Martin which print pro-lab do you use?

Yes but is it in the price you named?
In the Netherlands it's 19% but all prices are already included with the sales TAX and I believe the TAX in the UK is now 17.5% right?
If we take the Pentax 17-70 if that's around $600 (£385, €450) in the US without TAX
If we look at SRS for the UK price £449 minus the 17.5% vat = £382
Dutch price for the DA 17-70 is €515 minus the 19% vat = €432
At least if we take these prices, B&H has the DA 17-70 for $480 (£306, €350) so yes that makes a difference...
Don't know how much shipping will cost all in all...

I've had no failures with one of mine lenses.
About the SDM, there are quite some users here with an SDM lens and I've only heard 3 or 4 times that someone had a problem with one so all in all that isn't that bad.
I believe someone said most problems occur during rough handling during shipping, the align seems to be quite critical.
This only hear say though so don't hang me on it

Highly recommended.
Will surely give them a go.
