in fact I'm waiting for the reviews... and the road map...
I'm looking for a good prime in the 28-35 mm range and a wr version of this lens would be a no brainer for me...

Still - the maximum aperture difference is pretty negligible. And I'm liking this lens more and more!!!!!!
I'd be very surprised if Pentax didn't offer a slightly faster, WR version of this lens in short order....Don wrote:
one possible reason... to keep it from cutting into ltd sales Pentax could easily have thicker plastic mounts holding the glass to reduce the size of the wide open aperture and make the lens body sufficiently strong..
metal is stronger so it does stand to reason that you'd need more plastic to get similar strength... and if you use more plastic, you may wind up with more of the edges of the glass covered up, making the diameter of the aperture smaller....
which mean Pentax is still free to offer the same lens, with metal body and weather sealing at a higher price... and also faster with a wider aperture...
Very well thought out and explained - thanks Don!one possible reason... to keep it from cutting into ltd sales Pentax could easily have thicker plastic mounts holding the glass to reduce the size of the wide open aperture and make the lens body sufficiently strong..

Wow - if suggestions are true that this is actually a baby FA35, then this lens will be a corker! Not entirely sure why this lens would be slightly slower though - plastic construction or not.

if Ricehigh is bitching about it, it is probably a good lens...

It's called "Spray and pray". ...Plenty of press photographers shoot in this way, because they have a better chance of getting "the shot" by doing so.

My question might little bit silly but what would be better choice. K-7 or new K-r? K-r has Savox XI and K-7 VIII. K-r 6fps K-7 5.2fps, but yes K-7 meant to be pro camera and seems to be really good body. But K-7 stop with ISO at 6400 where K-r stop at 25600 Sorry for my question here but I'm thinking about buying K-7 soon or later and now I got confused.
wait til sept 20 when the new upgrade for the k7 comes out... then ask yourself "What do I really need in a camera" instead of "Which camera has the best specs on paper?".My question might little bit silly but what would be better choice.

you may find yourself shopping for a discount priced kx... or k7 or paying full price for a kr or k??? 7super, k5 or whatever they call it...

you may be right.... last time i used ir it was with a palm pilot... usb 1 was faster... That was then, this is now...Actually in my experience IR ports are usually considerably faster than Bluetooth (on mobile phones, anyway, they are around an order of magnitude faster).
