Yes, its technically an assembly, not a part. And its way way simpler than IS, which they are current only asking $100 more for (retail) than the body without IS. Thats why I stated I bet that it wouldnt add more than $50 to the retail cost of the body and thats being generous to Pentax... JCO

For the record, it's several parts, not one. The people at Pentax I've heard from estimate that the parts and associated additional assembly complexity add about $25.00-35.00 to the cost of a camera. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
