If it's significantly smaller as is rumoured then I wonder how the DA* range will sit with it.... a lens with something at the end perhaps
Dunno but if it is but my Pentax A* 300mm f2.8 is going to look bloody silly

They have also said they are heading in a different direction so maybe the K20D is the end of that line and this is a new beginning.
All we can do is wait, at least we arent seeing 1500 pages of total drivel here guessing about the new model.

Ok, lens is now up for sale as it has been sitting in the cupboard since I got the 16-50mm. Looking for £140 incl postage.

Oh, I also took off the tape as it just looked daft

I bought a 55-300mm off a member here a few weeks ago who was moving to a prosumer camera and to be totally honest I made a reasonable offer for it with the intention of having a play then putting it on Ebay to make myself an easy £20 but after using it a few times it now has a permanent place in m camera bag.

You did the same thing last time Mike-P, so why not do it again now?
I probably will but only once the new model has been released.
I should really have done it when the £100 cashback was available but like a lot of people I was waiting to see what Pentax released at Photokina

or should I get a K20D now they can be had for silly money...)
This is what I am thinking to be honest.
I bought my K10D body off an American seller on Pentaxforums 12 months ago for £250 with postage not long after the K20D had been released and could sell it today for almost what I paid. Not bad considering its my first DSLR.

No, the Adaptall adapters work on I and II lenses but remember some of the MKI Adaptall lenses dont have the AE setting on the aperture ring so the PK/A mount will be useless with it as far as auto metering is concerned.

I would be after them like a bloodhound
Not because of the money but its the principle of the thing.

Saying that my wife won some mohair wool and the seller advertised postage at £10 dispatched within 3 days .. 5 days later she emailed to say it was being dispatched the following day so my wife was a bit annoyed.
Arrived 3 days later in 3 boxes .. I worked out each one must have cost over £10 to post .. the total price incl post was only £28 .. so my wife let it go and actually felt sorry for her in the end.
