Thanks Richandfleur.

My concern in reading the press releases was feeling I'd be forced into buying new glass (conversely that 55-300 PLM looks real attractive). I have a nasty habit of getting every ounce out of old film era lenses. As long the lighting's good somehow I've been able to overcome AF issues. But that is with respects to photos. Video is another matter.

Definitely want to get a better look at the K70 reviews. I may still consider the K3II.

Richandfleur - can you elaborate?

Aperture QC issues?
Continual AF in some lenses.... Which lenses?

Any help appreciated, in the market for a new body soon.
