Chris,

In all honesty, this has expressed just how badly Pentax SUCKS!

If they wish to continue to lose the battle with Canon and Nikon then they are more than welcome to keep things going the way they are. This thread being a prime example.

However, if they have even the smallest amount of business sense, they could see that your post helped whip users into a foaming lather of lust for that lens and kept existing users on-board and gave new users a glimpse of how Pentax is going to compete with other manufacturers.

Quite simply, Pentax has 12-24 months left to live unless they start ramping up their competition and producing the lenses required to stay in the game.

I for one will switch to Canon next year if Pentax don't release anything worthy in the lens department. A Canon 100-400 L Series lens is more attractive to me than the K20D body. I'd settle for the 450D or 40D if I have to.

Good work Chris for flying the Pentax flag and being so genuine in your intent. I hope Pentax realise they have a loyal friend in you and continue to support you.

Nick
