Ahem... My sarcastic Bent aside, I think it's very good that they have re-used the K5II Focus system with -3 EV capability, pretty darned good for a body that'll end up selling for under five hundred quid pretty soon, got to admire Ricoh for that, a super compact weathersealed DSLR with a 100% viewfinder and autofocus in near darkness, all for less than a Monkey...

Why is it that I can never see more than a single item in the Classifieds? The only thing that I can see at present is a K-50. I'm looking in 'Shop - Classifieds Ads', is this the wrong place?

Dragged these off the site from over the pond, spot the difference???
And yes I know there is a K-S2 behind the second one!

Well bill there is still a 12-28ish, on the roadmap but currently I can't see them sneaking one out, too soon, (Maybe in the autumn?) if they do it'll be pretty expensive, the DA 12-24 is still over £700 but then it's worth every penny to me, they may of course make it variable aperture like the DA 16-85 in which case it'll be a little cheaper. I find the 12-24 DA to be every bit as sharp as the 15mm Ltd, pretty low distortion the only downside is the hellacious purple fringing which happily disappears with a quick move of the sliders in lightroom, there really is not much not to like, I got mine here for a little over £400 minty, best of the lot for me, and I've had all of the Sigma's including both versions of the FF one and none of them are as good as the Pentax, IMHO (The 8-16mm runs it close and is spectacularly wide!) should have been a star lens with seals, it's that good...

@JohnX
A K-S1 with that collapsable Zoom (Which it should have had at introduction) or any of the Ltd Lenses would make for a teeny tiny powerhouse of a camera, a lot diss the camera because of the lights but they can be turned off or the grip but I have to say it had more grippage than pretty much any CsC I've tried except for the OMD EM1. It's not that bad, you'll get no negative comments about it from me, if it were weather sealed, I'd probably pick one up!

Remember Mike...
"Superb performance that lets you capture moving moments exactly as you see them"
But not moments that are moving!
"Algorithms are used to increase AF speed even further"


Graphite and Orange does look pretty cool but I like the Khaki Green one too...
