I agree that such is welcome for a 70-210. I have a Tamron SP 70-210/3.5 (19AH) which weighs in at 930gm without adapter (about 70gm more than the new Pentax at 859gm). It has no provision for a tripod shoe and is too heavy for on-tripod use without some sort of cradle. I jerry-rigged a Canon foot to fit.
I also have the Pentax-A 70-210/4.0 at 680gm. It is quite hand-holdable and with a decent head, works fine on-tripod as well.
It is hard to say, but there appears to be a fitting for a foot on some of the photos. Let's hope that is the case. That lacking, Tamron does make a ring ($$) for their similar lens in non-Pentax-K.
