Nikon had a problem predicting demand for the D200, which was very hard to find for a while. This is not an exact science. If Pentax had made too many, they might have sunk the company.

Pentax are working flat out to meet higher than expected demand, and you call it a pathetic launch. What should they do? Build a new factory over-night? Or delay the launch until after Christmas?

My biggest gripe though was the unnatural subject colours, so there was no way to guage the accuracy of the colour rendition.

Over-exposed, no natural colours (like SKIN) to be seen, taken at one second so not very sharp.
Completely uselss for any evaluative purpose whatsoever.
But thanks for the news.

It's more convenient to buy a proper macro lens, but if you aren't sure if you want to pay for one, this is a cheaper alternative.

The 1:3.5 28mm lenses are hard to find. The SMCP-M 1:2.8 28mm is much more plentiful, and whilst not the summit of Pentax lens design, is perfectly satisfactory.
Both can be found on Ebay for £20 - £30.
