I just noticed the new 16-85 is in stock now at www.bandhphoto.com. I was checking regularly before Christmas and it was not available then, so maybe there was some marketing reason for it not coming to the USA before 2014. Does Europe always get new Pentax goodies before the USA?

As with so many things, Pentax is utterly whimsical in releasing products. Sometimes the U.S. gets things first, sometimes last, sometimes in between.

You will drive yourself crazy if you try to see rationality or pattern in what Pentax does.
