I do hope the rumor is true. It would be a sensible choice for Pentax to make, and prevents having to rev up the aftermarket for another battery form factor. > Godders, why are you posting to the list so much.

Was out shooting this morning at dawn, chasing fog ... bugger all stuff remains elusive, always floating to the next inaccessible hillside when I get to where it was. I need to borrow a tripod, though ... despite buying a smaller tripod and packing, repacking a dozen times, I could NOT fit it into my carryon or checked luggage, which would have meant checking it. Even cutting my kit back to just three lenses (DA21, FA35, FA77), I didn't have the space. Grr. I might just buy another tripod here (they have the Manfrotto 190CLD with a pan head at Jessops for £105, or a Chinese copy for about half that) and leave it here with my friend for him to use and for me to have available when next I'm over.
