Pentax has now offered 4 entry level DSLR's. To some extend at a high enough quality (except for speed, fill-flash, simultansouly RAW/jpg's and a few other things) for professional work. I believe the announced new 10MP DSLR is aimed at the semi-pro/enthusiast marked. I'd be surprised, if this isn't followed up by introducing som semi-pro lenses (it appears to be going this way) - that has to mean at least some 2.8 lenses. Perhaps even a fast prime telephoto lens. Full frame or not. Regards

Well Ken, if my (quite reliable) source of Pentax information is right - then new DA f2.8 lenses will have built-in AF motor (I guess ultrasonic one) and that would be a reason to change whole line of long lenses ;-) -- Balance is the ultimate good...
