When I get a K7 (or successor), I want that focus screen! I have it on my PZ-1p, and have missed it on my istD and K10.

The main K-7 housing is magnesium alloy. However, some parts like card battery covers are plastic.

Re: Silver K-7 (Limited 1000 edition) with nice focus screen IMO ;)
So after almost 10 years Pentax finally releases a camera body to match the original Limited lenses. In a format they weren't originally designed for. Anyone else see the Irony in that?
