Well I very nearly bought it but having exchanged a couple of messages with the seller (Ian), I decided against it. Now at least I have almost £2500.00 to spend on other toys, coz I got the approval of my financial adviser (my lovely wife). Well actually, approval is perhaps slightly over-stating it, "DON'T YOU B****Y WELL DARE!!!" were her actual words. Close enough for me though.

You can have my 'titanium' coloured one for £1200.00 + postage. That's a saving of £239.00 off of the RRP. Bargain at that, go on, you know you want one.

When you say Titanium Pete, do you mean just an ordinary silver one or is there a special edition. :

I have a black one and would love to swap it for a silver one too match my 43mm and 77mm.

Well, as it goes superbly with the K20D Titanium, that's what I prefer to call it. It is sold as 'silver' however, and sorry, I will not part with it, not for less than £1200.00 anyway. I'll just have to wait until SRS have sold all their stock . Oh and Steve, the ain't nothing "ordinary" about this beauty as I'm sure you know.

Just signed it but if it is made available only for current models, I'll be well pi$$ed off.

Pentax could retrofit so many good features that are pure firmware to older models (yes, I know they are in the business of selling product). Most of us have been loyal to Pentax for many years, it's payback time.

@ Mannesty - My original post does state that the camera is in manual exposure mode and that 'Use aperture ring' is enabled. That was one of the first things I did when I got the camera

Yes, I know, I read it. My post wasn't @ you.

In Av mode, M series lenses and older will not stop down when the shutter is released. You need to use (M)anual Exposure mode on the camera, and set the 'Permit use of aperture ring' in the custom menu to allow (or whatever it's called in your model.

Either of those is excellent. My preference is the Pentax lens. If you like the fisheye perspective, consider the Pentax 10-17mm lens also.
