 I am not sure about that. But I can see you are a die-hard Pentax fan. >>

I am. Owning a PENTAX is almost like the warm fuzzy feeling I get about my 14 
year-old Doberman: we've been places together, shared memories..and venues. 
He'll be gone soon but he'll have a place in my heart.
Don't mistake my buying a 67ll as a sign of blind brand loyalty.
Before I retired, I owned a CANON A-2 w/VG-10 grip, 100-400 [IS] lens, 35-350 
[L] lens, a 28-70 f/2.8 lens, a 430 TTL flash-you know, a real "pro" PJ 
outfit. 
*I bought the A-2 just to have something to shoot the 35-350. 
But when I retired, the CANON gear was the first thing I dumped on my way to 
gathering funds for my 67ll and new BOGEN tripod.  I still own PENTAX 35mm 
gear: my trusty SUPER PROGRAM/Motor "A" rig, my early vintage PZ-1p, a cherry 
K-1000 w/f/1.4 "M" lens, an AF400T and AF280T flash, both doing double duty 
on the 67ll. 

Do I miss the CANON gear? Yep, shooting the 35-350* lens mostly.  
*Had Nikon (or anyone else) made a 35-350, I would have owned a Nikon AF body 
to own the lens. It's a pity PENTAX has not kept up in the super zoom lens 
department. Even Nikon has an 80-400 super zoom... but you knew that already. 

I always dreamed... of shooting my trusted PZ-1p behind an autofocus PENTAX 
super zoom... but, no such luck.
