Actually, I was thinking the same thing, perhaps with some wishful thinking (remember, it's a "silly season" :-). But I did not post it for the fear of raising the blood pressure of some PDMLers unnecessarily. Now that you said it.... Here's the part which is a bit suggestive.

Hope it's not going back to PZ :-). I am not sure if the fast DA zoom was any indication but Pentax must be doing something quietly, revamping their whole lens lineup. Sudden disappearance of FA lenses and increased capacity of their main Vietnam lens factory by 160% this fall might be some indication. Mystery deepens. Ken
