Pentax usually isn't full of surprises. We heard about the DA lenses 4-6 months before they were released, and the new Baby-D was announced almost 6 months before it will be released (with rumors coming much earlier). They've been eliminating or having on backorder many more FA lenses than the number of DA lenses that they have announced. It would be really nice to see a roadmap of what is coming, along the lines of the one that Olympus released after the E-1 came out. alex
