I didn't realise this lens name had a "D" at the end, what's that stand for?

That's a mistake--it's DC, which is the type of focus motor the lens has.

My Lens will be delivered this afternoon about 6pm EST since I'm about the last house on the UPS mans route.

On a related but different note.... for any coming to NYC and thinking of doing some buying. Adorama is a much better place to buy lenses than B&H even if you pay a little more IMO. B&H will only let you demo what they have on display; Adorama will bring any lens they have in-stock up and let you try it out. @ B&H the salesman says "if you buy a lens you want a new one, you don't want to buy one someone else has used, do you?" "To which I replied "I'm sure I have. <grin - hey, they tout their liberal return policy... am I to believe those aren't re-packed and-sold?!> Hey, I own a Pentax, so used lenses come with the territory. ". The salesman giggled. But still, it left me unable to try the 70-200/2.8 HSM II out before I bought it, and discovering it doesn't work as well with a Pz TC as I'd hoped. ...anyway... looking forward to owner's reviews. This might turn out to now only be my 1st WR lens.

+1 on this. I've always found Adorama to be more helpful and friendly in store. They will go the proverbial 'extra mile' to help you out. They have been known to recommend a less expensive product and then tell you why. Pretty incredible for this day and age.
In addition they have a much greater selection of used pentax lenses.

Amazon now has them in stock themselves. Only two left they say.
