I have it and posted the small review Subash mentioned in the archive.
Maybe the 60-250 is delayed because Pentax needs to outperform the
55-300. The corner sharpness needs some small improvement, that's all.
Highly recommended. It outperforms most of my older glass like the FA
80-320, FA100-300,
Godfrey,
thanks, that's very useful. Bit of a monster when it's excited isn't
it? I'm not sure I want to be dragging that around. What I really want
is something I can hand-hold with a bit more reach than the 14-54
gives me - probably about 100mm. I might take the 100/2.8 CZ Makro.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Toine,
How is the F 135/2.8 on the K20D? I ask because I have the FA 135/2.8, when I
