My overall feeling is the Pentax is stalled in R&D. There have been rumors of a full-sized sensor Pentax, which would be wonderful for us who have Pentax lenses designed for film (that would be ALL of my Pentax lenses except for the 40mm pancake). There is little that would entice me to move from the K-x with 43/1.9 to something else. The combination is lightweight and fast and comfortable in my hand.
Maybe next year.
