Bump with a mention that the SDM on the 60-250 is working very well, it is currently being used in Venice on the K-1.

I went to Iceland back in 1972 (on a school trip), what an amazing place, I still remember it very well. I must still have my old colour slides hidden away somewhere taken on a ????????? (not a Pentax). I also went here, and it looks like Hraunfossar to me, but I stand to be corrected by those more knowledgeable.

I knew it started with an 'H'

If it improves on the K-3ii in virtually every respect then I might not be in such a rush to sell my lenses...

Even my Nikon D500 has a fairly annoying problem, It doesn't have Pentax on the front. Apart from that I think it's pretty much the perfect APS-C DSLR (for me anyway).
Until:
a) you need a new XQD card........
b) the batteries tend to have that annoying habit of depleting very quickly...

New DA*11-18
Updated DA 10-17

need I say more?

As Mike says this is nothing new - Pentax were doomed:

at the advent of AF
at the advent of digital
at the introduction of full frame

I remember trying to get AF lenses for my Z-10 in 1992, and really struggled to get 3rd party as I couldn't afford the FA 80-200, couldn't get anything in the UK, so my parents got me a really nice Tokina 70-210 f4.5 from San Fransisco....

Uncertainty doesn't help the used market though.......

If you are ever unsure about how good current Pentax is, just look at Mike-Ps images on his Flickr account.
