Or even the SMC 35mm f1.4 ;-)
The stop-down metering would not be feasible on a lens of this type.
Fine for a wide angle and landscapes, and no problem for minimal

That's not what the new "K10D" is offering ... you'll just have to wait and
see. Hopefully, Aaron and his source are correct about the new feature.

It seems that the K10D is going to be very different,

Nate has the 5D, and I've played with it, and while full frame is
pretty cool, the thing that's grabbing me about the D200 is the
ergonomics. But I need to handle o

Canon has the big gun full frame cameras. Nikon is at best a small
step up.
And in the prosumer price range, Pentax may well be a better buy and
a better camera.

Canon L-glass is equivalent to the Pentax FA* lenses.
The Pentax Limiteds *can* be made to perform like Canon L lenses -
just smear a light coating of Vaseline on the front element of the Ltd
