?? I don't understand..
I mean that many people have (correctly, in my opinion) moaned for a
long time that Pentax never really produced a successor to the SMC-A
70-210/4[1]. The SMC-F 70-210/4-5.6 perhaps is close, but it has been
out of production for almost 15 years (!!!). All the other similar
long zooms have been optically bad in one respect or another, unlike
the A70-210, which was just heavy.
When it comes out, it will be interesting to see how many of us who
moaned actually buy it (and of course this will depend on qualities,
price etc, even availability :-))))).
Sorry I confused you with my English.

p.s.: To respond to another post, internal focusing means permanently
long and tripod mount spells heavy to me. I think we won't all be
happy :-))))))
[1] I think we two have had this discussion; I was also talking to
Joaquim Carvalho just yesterday about it; John Whittingham as well in
the past, the list just goes on.
