I'd bet they've counted on that after the MZ-D public relations fiasco. I wouldn't be surprised if the *ist-D *could* have been shown at Photokina but wasn't because of the inevitable moaning that Pentax was crying wolf again. They probably want to keep the time between introduction and availability to an absolute minimum. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
