I received a tip that the European price of the upcoming Pentax K-1 full frame DSLR camera is confirmed at €1,999 (previous rumors indicated €1,999-2,299 price range). The price quoted is for the body-only SKU. The K-1 kit zoom will be sold with the 28-105mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. A new HD Pentax-D FA 15-30mm f/2.8 SDM (rebadged Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8 Di USD) will be announced at the same time, together with an updated roadmap. Stay tuned for more information.
