The 70-200 is too expensive if you consider that we can have it here in Greece at about euro 1.500,00 (=2.250USD)...

CORRECTION: The price in Greece is 1.640,00 USD!!!!
Where exactly can you have it for 1.640,00 USD? Which store or website sells this lens for that money?

This listed price is far more reasonable, especially consider that the lens does not have IS in-built.

I have found the 70-200mm in the Netherlands for €1999, here: http://www.cameranu.nl/nl/p652655/pentax-hd-fa-70...
And the 150-450mm one for €2199, here: http://www.cameranu.nl/nl/p652665/pentax-hd-fa-15...
Both are pre-order prices of course.
They don't come cheap, do they?. They price of the upcoming camera will match the price of the lenses or won't it? Also the quality must be great.
The quality of the two (analogue era's) full-frame zooms tested on PhotoZone were not all to great, just 3 stars out of 5. Hope, Pentax will have learned by now, how to build better zooms than they did in the unglorious past. Especially in this price range...

Unfortunately the important lens testing sites seem to have lost interest in testing pentax lenses? Maybe LensTip.com will bother one day.
