So it is another sign of a new flagship SLR? Lets not forget that Pentax patented image stabilization lenses more than ten years ago. So far, nobody have seen them. But a flagship slr with new matrix metering, USM and IS lenses would have been nice. It is after all the 50th anniversary for the Asahiflex and japanese slr production this year so if Pentax wants to commemorate this in some way, the time is now.
