I think everybody was expecting more.
They even took the TC and 30mm off the roadmap so they give with one hand and take the interesting stuff away with the other





Edit: Spelling. It really annoys me that I have to put a reason for editing straight after posting if I make a mistake. Other forums at least give a couple of minutes to rectify any spelling..

Pouring with rain and the wind is blowing a storm.

I am sat here with the door closed and little oild filled fire on full blast, and that's no joke.

I use a lot of Manual A lenses including a Pentax K 300mm f4, M series 50mm macro f4 and various Tamron Adaptall 2 SP lenses with no problems at all. They do tend to meter slightly off so I have -1 compensation dialled in when I use them but apart from that they work fine.

All my macro stuff is done with an old Vivitar 100mm f2.8 macro lens and I wouldn't swap it for anything.

Well, maybe a FA* 200mm macro ..

and just sold the FA 1.4 as well +I sold a Panasonic FZ28 on ebay.
Umm, if I remember rightly you sold those to buy the 150-500mm Sigma.
Don't think the wife will fall for that twice

You will come to a Pentax forum and get all sorts of reasons to buy one but then if you got to a Nikon or Canon forum you will get the opposite.
Best thing is to go try them all I would have thought.

One thing in the K20Ds favour though is that you can use all your Pentax lenses.

Was that to put us all off the scent?
I wish I was that devious, it would have come in handy at some time I am sure

Did he mention if they are in the sale and what price?

I did buy myself a little gem though not the 12-24.
VERY CHEAP.
I may let you know when I get it, But I may not
Oh go on, I won't be able to sleep tonight thinking about it

To be honest I only phoned because I didn't trust the wife to get the details right so I was surprised when he said they had one .. still not sure why I bought it though as 16mm is more than wide enough for me.

I don't think you need to worry with that one, its only a month old and you have proof of purchase so if there is a problem you can send it straight back to Pentax.
I bought one off Ebay a couple of weeks ago for £300 with no box or pouch (using a 10% Paypal coupon) and it seems to be fine although I havent really had a proper go with it yet as I left it in the UK and bought my 16-45mm out to Spain (still not sure why I did that).

I rang this Glasgow morning and got one

Well pleased
I phoned and got the other one which cost me £299 plus postage so I just phoned to complain and he said I could also have it for that price.

Not sure why they said there were non left yesterday though.
