Odd how a thread develops. When I started this thread, I was imagining that it would lead to conjecture about the k-r's replacement. For example, what features might trickle down from the k-5 or even, god forbid, it might have no optical view finder (tongue in cheek).

It looks the same to me.
I am debating what hood to buy. Not being an e-bay user I have the option of the same JJC hood Alan posted, a JJC cylindrical hood or a rubber hood.
The rubber one is the cheapest.
Does the JJC/UWInka actually provide enough hood to prevent flare etc?
I presume the JJC/UWinka (if they are the same) do provide enough because they are presumably identical copies of the Pentax original. Any users out there?

I don't think the warranty will be transferrable.

Alan, you should not be so sensitive!. I wonder if the others available are identical.

A perusal of E Bay this morning reveals a number of 55-300s and the odd 35mm 2.4 appearing as Buy it Nows that are brand new. I wonder why?!

The reason that we rushed to buy was the remarkable discount. However, things are more difficult to sell presently. I really struggled to sell a Pentax 16-45 on E Bay. Some of the current asking prices for Amazon resales look rather optimistic.

I'm a bit of a fan of Hoya/Kenko Pro 1 Protector filters. However, I also have the relevant hood on more often than not. Double protection!
