Some of the reactions are amazing...

Especially, reading some comments from members warning Pentax they will go to the dark side if Pentax don't bring out X, Y and Z....I am amazed when many members bemoan the fact that Pentax do not have a stable of FF bodies and lenses when they don't even have a K20D or K200D. There is a lot of wishful thinking on here and on the 'other' forum, and a lot of it is dumb.

I liked Chris' initial post, and despite the fact I already have the two fast Sigma zooms, I had earmarked the DA*60-250 to replace my EX 70-200, or supplement it. It's good that Pentax are trying to get the product right at the point of lauch, but maybe they were nervous about too much information getting out which might adversely affect current sales...ie if the 60-250 had FF capability what would that say, does it mean a FF DSLR is imminent?, or a new model with a larger sensor. It might do and sales, which drive R&D, could suffer.

In the meantime, do the sensible thing, ENJOY your camera. In fact I might use my FF MZ-S this weekend and enjoy that...

and thank you Chris for the taster
