Yes indeed, important to keep your eyes open if you're thinking of a specific lens. I got the HD20-40 Limited from SRS for £499, when it dipped from £659, which is where it's gone back now. Brilliant lens, absolute bargain.
Me too, and I concur with you on the lenses performance, best of the Pentax "Standard" zooms by a margin, the 16-85 being next. The Ltd zoom is a joy to use just like the other limiteds in the line, not an all in one zoom by any stretch but it perfoms and handles beautifully and my lightweight landscape kit just got even better (15/20-40/70), I've never been happy with any of the other Pentax DA standard zooms whether they be * or not, they all have their issues...

Price too steep for me, from me to anyone that can afford one

According to this site....

The same case is used for the 1.4x TC. I have the TC and the case measures 105mm x 70mm. My 43mm lens fits it OK. So we both need
spare cases off a TC?

Edit: I've just ordered the 40mm case for £9. I'll let you know the dims
when it arrives. The diam. has to be the same.

Cheers Algi, I thought there would be a lot of these kicking about, I'm sadly mistaken, I'm actually going to use the pouches when travelling light and the Ltd case I recently picked up too, all in a Fjallraven Reporter light Jacket which the sleeves zip off and it makes a brilliant photo vest
Just picked up a sirui T-025 Carbon Fibre Tripod which weighs less than a bottle of water but is as stable as my Ultra Rexi L.
I can make do for the minute as one lens is on the camera and I can just use the resulting empty pouch but I'd like to get hold of one still.
So if anyone out there has a spare or just don't need it PM me...

I assume you may mean this thread - or was the rumour somewhere else?
No idea, Just been told there's a new version tomorrow, might be, might not, no big deal, as I don't have a problem with 1.20, anyway...
Like I said, a heads up, ignore if you feel so inclined...
