The lighting on that shot works a treat.

I'm doubtful what JAK says is wholly true: the lens he linked to started production in 2013 (and had a tripod mount as an optional accessory).
I'm sure a five-year-plus old optical design still holds up, but I'd expect Pentax to remove the stabilisation.
(And anyway, according to da internetz, Pentax supposedly copy Tamron designs).
Wasn't my rumour, it was the rumours site rumour! At the end of the day, who knows what can be believed, we'll just have to wait and see. Until its officially announced it can only be guesswork.I'm doubtful what JAK says is wholly true: the lens he linked to started production in 2013 (and had a tripod mount as an optional accessory).

As to tripod mounts, Pentax release APS-C lenses to 300mm without one.

I have both an original Q (did have two but sold one) and a Q7. The Q10 has the same sensor as the Q, but the Q7 does have a larger sensor [1/1.7 inch (7.6mm x 5.7mm)] compared to the Q/Q10 [1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55 mm)] This certainly helps with image quality (a little bit!)

The Nikon Tokina version is quoted at 980g. The specification of the Tokina version is on the B&H link in my previous post, so no need to fully ruminate(?) about it!
Given the Tokina version is only being released next Monday (12th Nov), it would be extremely surprising if the Pentax version had managed to come out before it.
