All I need now is a Pentax body that has decent AF.C tracking and I can dump the Canon gear. I think with Ricoh in charge now there is every chance of that happening.
The upcoming FF perhaps...

Yes indeed, important to keep your eyes open if you're thinking of a specific lens. I got the HD20-40 Limited from SRS for £499, when it dipped from £659, which is where it's gone back now. Brilliant lens, absolute bargain.
Me too, and I concur with you on the lenses performance, best of the Pentax "Standard" zooms by a margin, the 16-85 being next. The Ltd zoom is a joy to use just like the other limiteds in the line, not an all in one zoom by any stretch but it perfoms and handles beautifully and my lightweight landscape kit just got even better (15/20-40/70), I've never been happy with any of the other Pentax DA standard zooms whether they be * or not, they all have their issues...
Have you been able to compare the DA* 16-50 vs DA 20-40 ... It seems the much maligned 16-50 does perform very well when stopped down, but it is big and then of course there's the SDM concerns.

Suspect it will fluctuate a bit with the arrival of the K-3ii (crop) and upcoming FF...

I take it this is the non-HD ver?

Are you the 1st owner?

I've got a feeling some of the FF crowd will never be happy (not saying that about OP).

With the K-3ii and 645Z I think it will be a strong lineup, irrespective of what happens with FF.

Any offers still on the K-3ii given it is no longer pre-order?

Possibly interested in body only.
