Amazon still has the 60-250 for $1499 - through Emmy Photo. 50-135 is at a lower price as well.

Well - it looks like most of the lens prices have now gone back up at Amazon - there are still a few here and there from 3rd party sellers that are below the post price hike asking price, but it looks like the dip was temporary...of course who really knows... time to go out and just enjoy some photography.

Looks like Amazon didn't get the memo - they are still at the lower prices - but their inventory is a bit low on some of the DA* lenses.

Amazon is at the lower prices still - though most of their stock is showing as low (4-5 left). The other sellers they list seem to be at the higher prices, though there are execeptions (like Emmy photo). Curious to know what is going on.

Amazon has the DA* 60-250 (through Emmy Photo) still showing $1499 - 4 left in stock. Looks like all the lenses on Amazon are at the lower prices for now - other sellers they list are mostly at the high prices.

Amazon has the DA*55mm from J&R in NY now for $699 vs the $799 (though Amazon it self is selling for $799) - looks like there may be some price normalization going on... let's see what happens. BH is showing $699.95 for the same lens - was $799 earlier today.

Yes - make sure you have full battery for the firmware update. Mine takes about 3.5 hours to fully charge.

Did you look at the top of the screen scrolling up after you submitted? When I have there is a subtle little green box that states something like 'thank you for submitting.' You don't get a new screen or even an e-mail confirmation that you have registered. This has at least been my experience when I registered my K-5 and my Pentax lenses.

Congrats! Would love to see some pics of the silver edition - there are some on-line but not too many.

You will enjoy it a great deal - it is such an enjoyable camera - might not be the most powerful out there - but it feels great in the hand and so far is a a great deal of fun! You will enjoy the jump! :-)

Manual calibration of the electronic level - please. Maybe more AF points beyond the 11 with a more robust array and slightly quicker AF. Overall though - a pretty good package right now and holding up with time.

I have been waiting for them as well - have an order at both BH and Adorama as well. From the reviews on their sites - looks like no activity since Feb of 2012. It is interesting that such a simple to 'manufacture' item is back ordered - wonder if something else is going on here. Doing a search on the forums, it seems like Pentax customer service used to give out an extended warranty in the past for free if you called - but I believe this was back in the sensor stain issue days. Other may have more insight as I just got my K5 recently.

So I take it you are ok with dust under the LCD screen on a weather sealed camera? If the seal is not proper it will be a catastrophe if water or more dust gets in. Thanks for your helpful response.

I have the same issue - one spec of dust that is visible with LCD on or off - looks like a call in order for service. Plus, my level is off as well. Recent build of Feb 2012 - so it seems there are still some QC issues, though no where near as bad as the early staining issues.

I just received the 70mm limited and also just got the 16-45. It's only been a few hours, but there is something about the K5 that really feels good in the hands. It hasn't even been a full day - but I am enjoying!

It just came in today - already tried it out. Everything feels solid, though the digital level seems a bit off - and I tried it on a very level service. Excited to go out and shoot.
