Just in case any pentax users havent heard I found this info aboiut new lenses (and camera) on the way from here: http://www.pentaxuser.co.uk/forum/to.../p-0#comm75957

Pentax 60-250 - Still on course for late November although stocks will be limited. I had a play with one the other day and it is very impressive. Very solidly made and being SDM very quick on the focus front.

Pentax AF160C - Due end of November. Retail price = £429. Again, I saw one the other day and it worked well.

Pentax 55/1.4 SDM - Due late January

Pentax SDM Converter - This has been confirmed as being 1.4x and is due 'Spring' 2009

Pentax K-m - On course to be with us the last week of October. £50 cashback from launch.

Sigma:
4.5mm Fisheye & 10mm Fisheye - Due December

120-400 & 150-500 - Due late November. These are SDM lenses but don't have an image stabiliser built in.

18-125 - Due November. Again as far as we know this is SDM and again don't have an image stabiliser built in.

EM 140DG Ringflash - Due November


Now I have to decise whenether to get a sigma 50-500mm or the 150-500mm with a hypersonic motor (SDM) when i get my k20d
