IIRC this also went around in reference to a grip for the K10D or K20D and someone believed it was the company making the grip for Pentax that had done another production run... goes to show that R&D and short life cycles are huge cost factors in this case, not materials & labor. I'd still rather go Pentax Cheers Ecke
