I'll tell you now instead. Walt, it is simply a divine lens. Sharp and contrasty, with bokeh that would make you cry. It's AF is lighning quick, and there is almost no hunting, even in near darkness. It balances beautifully with the K20 body and vertical grip, making shooting an absolutely wonderful experience. It's too bad you can't afford one.

Re: DA*60-250mm/f4
I use a very wieldy Sigma 70~300 f4.0/5.6 Apo Macro Super. It's a 35mm lens of course. The only problem I have is shake in the absence of enough light. And of course it hunts, like any long auto-focus lens. I simply can't afford the newer DSLR Pentax lenses but all the SLR lenses I have perform very well on the *ist D. The auto-bellows A works as well. As does the Tokina Doubler.

It is scheduled for "summer 2008", according to the lens roadmap. That could mean August as well as June... :-) Ned Bunnell has been writing about the 17-70 in his blog, so it looks like that's coming through the pipelines before the 60-250.
