I asked and the seller claims this is a production not preproduction lens. Someone else may want to inquire further.

They probably did a limited production run for the lenses handed to the Kenspo's among us.

While that is true - I would think those lenses would come with a caveat that they cannot be sold until such time as the product is released - of course I could be wrong.

Maybe somebody is being naughty then...

Yes, someone is probably ignoring their NDA.

Once again, this section of the forum is for Pentax News and Rumors, not posts about rodents. Some folks have very short memories.

I learn something everyday around here!

the spring of 'Apple' and spring of 'Pentax' are different

I don't know when Apple considers spring to be because I neither own nor use any Apple products. I once naively installed QuickTime. Omg! It was a nightmare getting rid of all the crap Apple installed with it. I'll never, ever own an Apple product.

hahaha, yea I used to ride to work until it was about -5. Then I realized I have a car and heat and didn't have to "prove my manliness" to anyone.

Seriously though, its like -5 right now with freezing rain and I just came out from outside wearing a long sleeve tshirt and jeans.

Rode on sheet ice road and 2 feet of snow banks on the side of the road. I must have looked hilarious.

I'm seriously contemplating moving to Florida. Midway between where I am now an hour or so north of the Gulf Coast and Orlando.
