What's your source, Zygonyx?

He was asked for a date so he gave one!

Doesn't mean that it is the release date, it is a date though.

GREAT IDEA! Let's turn PF into a dating site. That will easily get us over the 40,000 posts for the month.

I can tell, Paul, you're an Aquarius and like long walks on the beach ...

Now Pentax has to add another warning: "Caution! This lens may get you married". I wonder how much delay printing those warning labels will cause...
