Pentax have never frustrated me more than when I became a buyer of their new products. I am in the market for another *ist D with a 16-45mm lens, but can I get one with this package? It's all well and good saying they will sell X and Y, but if people like myself get downhearted in trying to obtain them, someone who is considering more than one manufacturer will quickly dismiss them. Advertising isn't enough - it's walking into a shop and having the goods available that is the essential thing today. I'll live with being p****d about as an Pentax fan and amateur user, but there are days where I wonder if I should have gone with another manufacturer. Then I pick up an LX and remember why I chose Pentax...:-) Malcolm
