tamron sp 200 is a very nice lens and it is fast at f2.8
and if you find the pentax mount on its own for the tamron lenses you could buy any tamron lens on any mount and just chane it to pentax

I say well done Ricoh on taking the correct decision to release the lens when it's right rather than suffering the derision of other marks ripping into Pentax for a poor product. That takes balls in the business world
no it takes balls to admit there is somthing wrong with a product not to keep putting dates back and not to let the rumors do it Apple once released a version of their iPhone late because it simply wasn't ready.

as any one seen or heard from the head people at pentax to say there is a problem no
its not the problem with products its the problem with the managmentbecause they havent the balls to admit anything that is where the problem is
they want third place in the market no chance with there atidue towarts customers

i think there is a diferance between a couple of month and over a year
pentax/ricoh need to get there house in order first not just keep fobing people off with no explanation at all
it dose not inspire new customers or poach them from other brands

Agreed with the above...better not to release a lens (or camera) that is not fully rested and 100% (well 99.99% anyway) fault free, than have a whole load of early problems (remember sensor stains, oil from on sensor(Nikon), white orbs (Fuji)) Not all the bad news is from Pentax -"On August 4, Nikon announced its new AF-S Nikkor 24-70mm F2.8E ED VR lens; it was originally scheduled to begin shipping on August 27. On Thursday, Nikon Japan revised the shipping date, stating it has been pushed back to October due to an unforeseen delay."
The 150-450 results on APS-C so far show that Pentax/Ricoh CAN get it right, let's not ruin the positive brand perception from that!
