The long A* lenses were white with dark grey trim and the 560mm bears a distinct resemblance to them

So a retro look is being adopted.

I am sure we would be happy if the 560mm matches the quality of A* lenses.

To be honest I find going into a store expressly to prove my superior technical knowledge equally tragic....

Chris,

Does your chap at Pentax know any more about the K3 (assuming that is what the K5 replacement will be called) :
If he does do you really think he would tell us?
Of course not, but always worth a gentle nudge to see what might drop out of the tree

The sales assistant sounds like a 'total plank'

Shame that you were not able to record him and put the result on YouTube

We know
I just meant that for me the lens roadmap is far more interesting than the camera, particularly as the lens roadmap has been missing for a long while
