I have it confirmed by TeKaDe the price of the 60-250 will be 999 euros or perhaps even less then that. Sometimes I wonder if the 50-135 wouldnt be a better choice, given an extra stop and it is available.

Yes, on eBay, but for about $1700 or more.
I see a Tamron 70-200mm F2.8 SP Di-LD for 599 euro,
and a Sigma 70-200mm F2.8 II EX DG APO HSM for 659 euro, this lens has
hypersonic drive.

Anyone that has experience with either one of these?

I know you are referring to the 80-200 here for $1700, but for that
money, i can get a D300 and drip, and use lenses i already have.:--)
I hear the 60-250 will sell around $1200-1300, some were around there.
I think that's to much, considering i can now get a 50-135 for less
than 1K here.

Reading the tea leaves and other cryptic signs on the USA Pentax site:

55/1.4 is shown as New/Buy It Now;
15/4.4 is shown as Coming Soon
60-250/ is shown.

There is an 80-200/2.8 on eBay right now...

Latest hint from Pentax is late spring 2009 - "production problems"

Is there any news about the availability of this lens? I pre ordered
with TeKaDe, it was suppose to arrive around Christmas, de price has gone
down in the mean time, and TeKaDe has no idea when the lens will arrive. I
wonder if I should go for another lens, Tamron or Tokina, don't know who has
a nice alternative.
