Out of interest, is the WB in your photo slightly off? They look more champagne-coloured than silver. (I'm NOT trying to be critical of the photo, just curious about these wonderful lenses )

Well since it costs £250 the badge HAS to offer some serious snob value! (Panasonic LX3 with a Panasonic badge: £300, Panasonic LX3 with a Leica badge: £550)Leica is a different matter. It is well made, has very nice optics, but it still only a camera, but that badge!!!

In any case I believe the 645D was absolutely necessary to lift the reputation/prestige of Pentax in lower value market segments, to support the recent price hikes from a marketing perspective.
Or perhaps that, since they had been developing the 645D for many years (and crowing about its imminence for most of that time), the company would never recover from the humiliation of having to cancel it.In any case I believe the 645D was absolutely necessary to lift the reputation/prestige of Pentax in lower value market segments, to support the recent price hikes from a marketing perspective.

How close does the front element gets to the subject, it must be very close I think.
If I remember correctly you bought a Sigma 180 a few months ago, how does that one work with the 1.7 TC?
The DA35, as far as I can tell from review, essentially has no minimum focus distance worthy of the name How close does the front element gets to the subject, it must be very close I think.

I wish Sigma hadn't stopped making that 180 in Pentax mount

Does it really need to be a new system? I wouldn't be surprised to see something along the lines of the Samsung NEX: i.e. EVIL, but has an APS-C sensor and a K-mount*I really doubt Pentax as a relative small company can even pull such a stunt off
*Yes, I know that NEX doesn't have a K-mount thanks

Rather uselessly, I've come to the conclusion that I will at some point need both: the DA40 as an auxiliary portrait lens, the DA35 for indoor closeish (the DFA50 has had me in contortions trying to fit stuff in the frame at times ) and landscape. The question is which I go with now, since the chances of me ever getting the other one will be greatly diminished - first because of money, and second because my next purchase after this one (likely to be next year) would be a DA70.
