I was under the impression your K-7 would come from BH anyway... Boris,
I was happy with the LX for a loooong time before others came creeping
to BR. I don't think they happened to be sold here, and by here I mean
Sao Paulo, very far away from my hiding places.
A friend of mine dumped Pentax for a XTi and still stands - no
lightnings at all - so if you ever change, Pentax should lose more than
you. That said, I do hope you manage to remain in this "priesthood" :-).
Hope the lens returns ok - and hope you don't get to pay double import
taxes, too... that would happen here in BR if the serial number changed.

Luiz, it is not clear how wide spread the K-7 will become in Israel.
Presently, no store shows it. I got it on a very special order. It is
therefore possible that if I cancel my order, I will be left without
the camera. I am thinking that I might want to take the risk and if
indeed it proves awkward (to put it mildly) I will probably go and
switch systems all together.

...sad news, but looks like you're not alone, there are lots of reports
about problems in the hi-end Pentax stuff. I remember this happening with
the 16~50 2.8 - centering problems during some photozone test.
Any new product is likely to have issues, and any hi-end quality control is
supposed to keep those first batch issues under the carpet. I do remember
Paal fuming about his 28~80 2.8 - or was it the 80~200??
Boris, I'd cancel the K-7 order for the moment, to be re-issued in a better
moment. Those small details are likely to be solved, the big ones should be
acknowledged as such - so in a few months we should know for sure if the K-7
is being plagued by small details or has serious problems.
Good luck - keep us posted pls.

Hi guys.
After some deliberation I decided to shell $250 for brand new FA
50/1.4 for my daughter. It arrived some days ago, and it says made in
Vietnam. Now, I don't have anything against it except that this lens
is soft at f/8 outdoors focused manually by the split screen. It is
going back to B&H but honestly, I am very disheartened by this. This
is something that should be just flawless, but it is anything but(t).
*sigh*
