Actually, what I was trying to say, is that it is quite understandable 
if people fuss a bit if they even have to walk into a store in order to 
find out if a lens may be ordered. I don't think it's too much to ask 
that the info on places like www.pentax.co.jp or www.pentax.<your 
country code> is up-to-date and accurate.
