There is only the original firmware for the K-3, no updates have been released yet (but we're only at week two so hardly surprising.)

The Macro Limited version is f2.8. They'd be a terrific bargain for £150 but sadly they aren't those, unless its a local mistake.
If its this one, it isn't macro, despite what they say: link.
The macro version would cost more than double that.

Also, they appear to have some 35mm F2.4 DA
On their web site they describe those as

PENTAX SMC DA 35 mm f/2.4 AL Macro Lens
but of course they are not macro lenses at all!

I've seen the "crippled mount" comment several times but I do not know to what problem with the current mount it refers. Could someone edumacate me, please? Thanks.
See here for info on this.
[quote="Bojidar Dimitrov"]The only reason for the existence of this mount variation is cost cutting. This was achieved by leaving out the stop-down coupler of the body mount and the aperture ring of the lens mount. With this move Pentax sacrificed one of its strongest advantages, the unrivaled K-mount compatibility.

The combination of a "crippled" KAF body with any lens functions perfectly if the following two conditions are met:

The lens that is used has an aperture ring with an "A" setting,
The "A" setting is engaged.

Yep, a small world! Hope they didn't get caught in the Hainault tornado last year.

It is very easy to forget you changed things like the exposure compensation previously and puzzle why subsequent shots come out odd. I had a batch of monochrome images once that I wasn't expecting - thought the camera had gone wrong until I realised I'd unknowingly changed the custom image settings! It's easily done.
