Whoah! Just about to take the Samyang 85 1.4 up for a walk tomorrow too! Currently my favourite lens as well.

In a way, the fact that it is manual focus, has helped me take better photos than if it were an AF lens.

If anything at all, this is GOOD news. Looking forward to the two new cameras to replace the K-r and K5 tandem. May be a bit of delay with Ricoh coming on board, but to me that means:

"Now we're on board, can you please add Feature X, Y, Z. Here's the cash to cover it." - Mr. Ricoh

... on top of an already existing "prototype" Pentax camera.

All my opinion of course.

I am a fan sir, and if I had the funds, I would snap it up! Wish you luck with it.

Something to do with the flooding in Thailand?

Hello there! Welcome to the forums!

I will recommend that you get the K5. It is an investment, and I'm unsure where you live, but having weather sealing does boost your confidence of taking shots in unlikely weather, like recently across the UK.

That sounds like a plan sir! The look has grown on me. It screams of industrial design.

I'm up for the yellow one too! Industrial strength K-01! Yellow proves it's in a class of its own. LOL

Very much doubt it will, but I'm with you in hoping it does!
