I never knew that, I used to wait for U.S. PDML'ers to comment on equipment and they always seemed to get theirs first. Or maybe it's just the U.K.

Lately, though, Pentax has reverted to shipping new gear to Europe well before shipping to the U.S. As with most things Pentax, it does no good to try to figure our why.

I could use this lens for some upcoming work. Still not available in the U.S. I wonder how long it might take.
