We're supposed to be a friendly forum, so less of the rudeness please guys.

Hover over the medal icon and your forum rank will be revealed.

Jeff is Pentax Pro Master, Stan is the same ranking.

It is just a bit of fun and it's not really highlighted any more, but no-one gets demoted!

Pretty good moon shot. Good central detail that seems to go off a bit at the edges.

I'm sure you're right. It's something that's common in selling. "I'd buy one if only it was blue." "We've made it available in blue." "That's interesting, I'll think about it."

It's easy to say what we want when we don't have to make the buying decision now.

It just goes to show the principle of "you can't win" because posters have been clamouring for a long lens just like the 560mm, and now it's here don't want it?

Who bought the 600mm when it was still on the list?

Anyway, we'll see what the final price is, and I'm sure that Pentax will have done the numbers and will know how many to make and where the sales will be.

I doubt that this will make a scrap of difference. In any event, many lenses will continue to be SMC. HD should appeal to those who understand what it means and probably everyone else won't really notice.

Supply and demand Mike, works every time. Just look at how the Q is flying off the shelves.

The 18-135mm seems to be doing Ok, and of course the price has come down. In fact, at some points it has looked irresistable, and we didn't resist...

I think I'll snap up an 18-270mm for Sue to replace her 18-250mm, but when the price is right.

I was under the impression that the DC lens (18-135mm) with its DC motor and simplified weather resistance was a lower range than the SDM range with SDM motor and full weather and dust resistance.
