Web Analytics RiceHigh's Pentax Blog: The (Postponed) 645D Release Day has Passed, Any News?

The (Postponed) 645D Release Day has Passed, Any News?

Last time, the 645D was delayed and it was told that the new on-sales date is June 11.

So, has anyone actually heard about when the 645D is actually delivered. Any new news?

Or, Pentax/Hoya just chose the new day just because the World Cup opening day is just so close and near, so that no one would ever notice that even if there is slippage again! Brilliant, Pentax! Well Done! You're just so clever! ;-)

Rice, have a look at ANY MF system - usually, cameras are very rare in stock. If it's in stock, it's only ONE body.
Sales under orders. Shipping in 1-4 weeks. Even Leica M9 are temporarily unavailable in many shops world wide.

It's not K-x or D3000. Or socks on the market.

When you don't have anything to write about, you're just making things up, aren't you?
Of course Pentax can't keep the cameras on the shelves: those nasty customers keep buying them ;) And it was their fault the initial launch date was postponed, btw.

I am not so sure if any of the infos provided by this Nubi person is reliable. He is the laughing stock of PF. Nobody like him. Although there is a rumor that he is the grandson who complained about the purchase of Pentax, but I am sure that is not true.

Excuse me if I write here something that's off topic, but I have a K-m with the 18-55 AL; somewhere I read there are two types of these lenses: 1) the AL; 2) the AL II (and the AL WR?); is there a writing on the front of the lenses reporting "AL II"? or what is the way to distinguish type I from type II? Maybe from the Serial Number (if any)?

Thanks in advance.

A bit off topic indeed but anyway... If bought together with your K-m, the 18-55 should be a DA 18-55 L with a bayonet made of polycarbonate (instead of metal), a focus ring rotating during autofocus and no lens hood. If so, it is optically identical to DA 18-55 AL II (and also to 18-55 AL WR).

Thanks, Mistral.

So, why three indentifiers? AL, AL II and AL WR?

Because we're talking about four separate lenses:
1. DA 18-55 AL, first version
2. DA 18-55 AL II, second version with improved optics
3. DA 18-55 WR - a weather resistant version of the AL II (i.e. same improved optics)
4. DA-L 18-55 - a cheap version (see Mistral's post) of the AL II
The lenses are clearly labelled as such.
