Well I-10 is clearly just a visual pun on 110. I doubt it means anything else....However, maybe this has now been lost in a mass of meaningless letters and numbers.
I keep waiting for the Pentax K-2 to come out...

Just say "ohh ick" and curl your nose up and you get the basic idea!

I bought one a few weeks ago but when it finally arrived from South Africa via a member of the Landrover club (don't ask) the focusing mechanism was jammed solid and unrepairable. By the way, it takes four AAA batteries, not four AA ones.and if you do come across one at a price you consider reasonable, buy it and never let it out of your sight!

Oh well... I have an entertaining paperweight now.... the lens, even when working, performed very badly. The auto focus was so slow and made the lens almost unusable.

It looks like your run-of-the-mill dust spot to me. The Artic Butterfly or the Pentax O-ICK1 sensor cleaning kit will deal with it. I never tire of that part number, someone at Pentax has a sense of humour after all. Meanwhile the heal tool while get rid of it.

Sounds like an interesting story there Andrew...I have to take most of my pictures in a bog while it's raining and a farmer is slagging me off for plotting to steal his caravans! (Don't ask, just don't ask: I have a difficult morning, but ultimately not unproductive...I think.)
Makes a change from "Pentex lense" as a description I suppose...

19.12 and I am still in the office. I think a Chinese take-away might be in order...

You still have a 35-70mm f2.8 anyway - I think that's the fastest lens in that range Pentax have offered? It surely wouldn't be too hard to unjam it for manual focussing...
