Wow! That 55/1.4 is expensive! €549 is waaaay above the current price of the SMC-FA 50/1.4. Can't believe it's that much better... but I could be wrong

Looks like two lenses are targeted January 2009 - DA55/1.4, DA60-250/4, while the DA15/4 is "Spring 2009". Though the leak document says the two will be before Christmas (presumably Dec 2008 - they didn't say which year! :lol

Amazed at the size of the DA15! Incredible optical engineering!

Wonder what else is going to be announced on Tuesday...

Amoringello - that's probably why TinyURL is blocked. Literally any website can be linked with TinyURL - genuine or malicious - and you have no way of knowing which it will be until you click the link.

TinyURL itself isn't to blame - just the way that others might mis-use that service to do drive-by web attacks

Amoringello - it's not TinyURL that's the problem... it links to Pentax.de who apparently have removed the JPG
Looks like a tiny error in their website updates. Whoops!
(Either that or a sneak leak to generate some commotion )

Spoke to SRS last week and ordered a K20D... maybe I'll need to kick myself later
(But then the current new price is rather stupid - and not that much more than the second hand value.)

Sounds like the layers are a bit like LightZone's masking - which was quite intuitive, but so much slower than Photoshop (especially when you get three or four layers)

I'm sticking with Silkypix + Photoshop CS2

Just saw this on the epz news page:

Pentax have taken direct control of their independent distribution channel. The business has had a major reconstruction and as a result, Pentax are now assisting customers directly.

This has been a strategic business decision by Pentax and is in no way a reflection on the performance of Intro2020. Pentax would like to take this opportunity to thank Intro2020 for its hard work and professionalism in developing and supporting the business over the last three years.
