OK. Less than 24 hours after placing my order I have the lens in hand (fully enabled, I guess you'd say). Precision Camera was pleasant to deal with and seemed to really try to fix a slight boo-boo they made on shipping method. I'll have to stop in next time I'm in Austin. Not too many stores carry anything but basic Pentax lenses.
The lens seems nice. It focuses fairly fast in daylight at least, is light, good contrast and the zoom range is right for a walking lens. I'm happy. Thanks again for everyone's input.
