Could you give a link to this butterfly gizmo? My sensor needs a clean!

Thanks, Kris.
http://www.visibledust.com/ is the manufacturers website. They are sold by most photo stores.

I'm the same with my K20......I have anti dust on all the time!...and I've had no problems at all with dust..........I think my old DS was a dust magnet,I was forever dleaning it out with the butterfly!........I never use a blower, since blowing a load of muck up inside the viewfinder on my DS!......
Same here exactly

The one that intrigues me the most is the mysterious, unspecified DA Super telephoto in the future lenses section. It would be interesting to know what that is, and whether it will appear in any of our lifetimes .

Maybe this is the flagship? In which case Don will be happy.

Photokina starts Tuesday so I would expect news/details then.

Just under a million is her current price (pounds sterling), quite a bargain as she has had a million spent on her restoration.

She is tiller steered, which must be quite interesting on a 63ft racing yacht
I wouldn't like the upkeep of her, but she is beautiful.

My son's Hasselteraak is also tiller steered and about the same length, but no racing yacht.

ttk, even if they do announce a new flagship camera at Photokina it will almost certainly not be available for several months.
If they do introduce a K20Ds it would be very nice if they offered a firmware upgrade for K20D owners, as Nikon once did when it upgraded a model very quickly.

Funny that you are having problems with tinyURL - I use Zone Alarm and can access tiny links no problem.

Web page at the moment can not be found, so it's telling me.
I guess they realised they'd put it up too early and have removed it. Shame. Hopefully it will be back up on Monday.

The German Pentax site has a new roadmap up - dated 22 September.

Hopefully the link still works.
