Well it seems Ricoh is still supporting Pentax APS=C for the time being.
The new 11-18mm f2.8 DA* seems to have hit the store shelves looks like a pretty nice lens too. It's priced above the level where my nose starts bleed unfortunately. Now if only they release the K3 II successor that keeps being promised. -- America wasn't founded so that we could all be better.

Re: L-bracket
