Originally posted by totsmuyco May I ask when is this update coming. I'm interested in buying the new 55-300.
AFAIK such an update is not in the works. Upon user request, Pentax already extended support to the K-50 and K-3 beyond the originally-supported bodies. It's not likely that we'll see continuing updates for 5+ year old bodies, as nice as it would be.
With the rapidly falling prices of used K-3 and K-S2's, it's a great time to upgrade those K-5 and K-30's
I'd expect a new APS-C flagship soon, as the sensor in the KP is already putting the K-3 to shame IQ-wise.
