I've read this thread a couple of times and I really can't understand how it got like this.
James, I'm sorry this is happening to you (you are normally saying that to me
).
Substitute, I'm trying to be impartial here but it does seem to me that you are being overly aggressive (and I don't mean any disrespect by that). We all have off days.
I think it's been established that the lens isn't available for Pentax yet, so let's just let this thread die. Tomorrow is another day, in fact it is already tomorrow somewhere in about 30 minutes.
