I was in a local camera store today........just could not resist the used FA 28-105
sitting there so all alone! <G>
The local Pentax rep was in the store speaking with the staff, and I heard him talking
about the new MZ-S, which he was calling the Z-1 to the store's staff. According to
this rep (Chicago area), the new Z-1 is set for release here in Chicago in July, with
the new 6 megapixel digital body to follow soon after, but no date for it yet. He also
said the 31mm Limited would be around by then as well as three more rumored lenses. I
quizzed him on the 24-90, but he had not heard of that, or at least he played dumb!
But, he did say the PZ-1p has been official discontinued and is no longer in
production, and that Pentax is no even contemplating filling backorders for the PZ-1p
at this time.
Again, take it for what it's worth, but at least it was sort of official.......
John
PS - He did tell me he saw an absolutely MINT Spotmatic F in the used case at Shutan
Camera in Vernon Hills, IL, in case anyone is interested.......
