I am really not into machine gun photography and never get anywhere near filling a 4gb card, so an additional card slot would be a feature not a benefit

Chris @ SRS is online - perhaps he is about to drop a few hints

It would have a price tag to match - would you still want it then?

I'm waiting for Mayday to change brands

Gwyn,

What did you not like about the K20 :
It was too big for me really, too heavy. I tended to leave it at home rather than lug it with me on walks and the like. I just never really got on with it somehow.

Plus I always struggled to get good pictures with it - that was my fault, I know, not the camera's but as I didn't like it I didn't really make the effort to learn it properly.
With the Ds I nailed probably 90% of my photos. With the K20D it was nearer 20%.
Belinda B. mainly uses the X70, tending to only use a K10 or K20 around the house or in the garden or occasionally when I have been the one carrying it for many miles

Pentax do not currently make any converters.

There was an SDM version on the Pentax lens roadmap but it was then removed.

The Pentax 1.7 converter appears secondhand from time to time and theoretically new ones are available, apparently assembled from spares.

Pentax converters have a very good reputation.

I thought that I had better enter this one, having pointed out the short deadline

Hazy sunshine.

I am impressed that the manufacturer of this range of tractors sprayed everything yellow (apart from the radiator grille)
