Could even have been designed by the same person, if that is possible. Details of it here.

It looks like a baby K1/Kr hybrid to me!

According to photorumors site the new Pentax 'KP' could be announced within a week or so and is said to be a K5/K3 class of camera rather than an entry level replacement. Compatible with a new DBG-7 grip apparently.
Photos here.

(Less costly than hiring one!)

Wondering if anyone has a Pentax 560mm lens for sale or knows the closest place to me where I can hire one from. I am close to Oban so expect it might be Glasgow.
Calument (Glasgow & Ediburgh etc.) do Pentax lens hire but doubt they'll do a 560. https://calumetrental.co.uk/pentax-1
Jessops, but not what you want: http://www.jessops.com/online.store/categories/Current%20Offers/rental/Pentax%20rental/Show.html
SRS do have one for hire. Are you rich? http://www.srsmicrosystems.co.uk/hire/

When using manual lenses is the reason for dialing in the FL of the lens only because of the need to optimise the oscillation of the SR function for that lens
or is it needed for something else as well?
If it has been set and you haven't changed lenses in the mean time it should remember the setting used previously.
I am asking because sometimes when switching a manual lens under pressure ie for an opportune bird shot, saving time and not dialing in the len's FL would be beneficial. The SR would be switched off anyway as I've stopped trying to grab bird shots in poor light.
