Some good images of the lens over on Pentax Forums. One thing is for sure, this is going to be the most expensive Pentax lens at release to date.

Why can't people who pay to go to these events just enjoy it rather than see it as another photo op???

I am going with my son, who is 8. Perhaps I might want a few pictures to remember what I am hoping will be a great day out with him. I'm sure he will want to take his Optio I-10 with him.

John, I understand the need for restrictions, those canon lenses can be quite long!

I think I might be leaving the lens hood at home then!

Just a bit of fun on a wet Jubilee Weekend when most of us probably won't be taking many photos due to the rain.

Sorry, missed this one, I was out taking photos in the rain with my K7 and 18-135 WR lens !

My K7, I had the K10 before it and that was my favourite camera when I had it!

We probably know the answer to who makes the best lenses, however where does pentax sit on the list (Answer)

I was talking to Jacobs by London Bridge, apparently Canon and Nikon reps are in every few weeks, they had never seen a Pentax rep!

I have noticed the same with my K7, however I do not carry my camera that often round my neck so I don't have extensive wear.

I tie my strap in the way shown in this diagram. The plastic loop then goes by the mode dial and can protect the strap a little more.

Some experiment with positioning may help to reduce your problem.

The only other Pentax problem I have, is my 50-135 is a bit reluctant to AF if not used for a while (typical SDM), but I get around it - ie put it on the camera and coerce it to work, then it is fine.

I had the same issue with my 50-135, it was a slow downward spiral to less reliable focus, finally it went to Harrow Technical - £100 spend I haven't regretted.

Now I think the 16-50 might be starting to show the same issue!

I did have a problem with the pop up flash spring on my 5MZn years ago - that was fixed.

appart from the front/back focussing issues with lense just 2 failures in 27 years of using Pentax!

I think they made the DA* 60-250 instead!

I wish Sigma and Tamron would add more of their lens line up to the Pentax mount version!

Over the years the range of subjets I like to shoot have changed a little, so it stands to reason that my lens requirements may also change a little. Perhaps this is one reason I tend to go for zooms!

That said I do have 8 primes! 3 are 50mm, 4 are M's, one is a macro!
