So what? The one from the Pentax lens roadmap is a 70-200.

Great. More of the "this is not a Pentax lens" nonsense.

talking of which, absolutely no news about the Tokina that is a Pentax lens - I wonder what's happening there - I thought only Ricoh Imaging had delays

Does Pentax have any large format camera in their offering? Maybe that's the big thing?

Could be! A digital Pentax 6x7 seems long overdue.

There is a rumor about a Full Frame GR being tested in Sweden at the moment.

Yes, that's the GR-E with the curved sensor.

How about a camera strap with a bladder that can hold hot coffee for those winter days and iced tea for summer.

God, let's hope this is true... a full frame 36mp Ricoh GR with a 28mm F2.4 with snap focus... and maybe also reasonably priced! (I know, I'm daydreaming!)

I actually believe it will the K-3II replacement. However, it will have some some freebies that will go with it. If my sources are right, it will be a solar rice cooker specially for the outdoor Pentaxian. Still, cooking at night would be impossible. So, what they did is, they'll supply us with a flashlight that needs 12 size A batteries if you need to cook at night.

I'd love to have this rice cooker but, I don't need a new camera. How do I get it, I don't really know.

Just joking guys. I'm as excited as everyone.

If Asahiman's hints are to believed, the GRIII will be 24Mp- which is probably actually better for that type of camera.

I heard it through the grapevine that it is a new 645 with a tilt/shift sensor.

Or was it through the vine? Can't remember.

Maybe it has one of those little kegs like the Saint Benards had around their necks. That could help my photography at times
