This news should make Klaus happy as the IIs version has no AA filter! Well done Pentax!

Jo!
I reckon it will be a tad difficult to find many fellows to provide lenses for testing (in Australia) though.

Well, Norway is a bit of a distance to Sydney ... :-)

Indeed. But do you live there now? No more Germany? <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />

Pentax is actually pretty popular down under so I don't think you will struggle too much to find volunteers.

We (my girlfriend & I) will touch down Nov 2nd.
However, Markus (Nikon + Samsung) and Seb (MFT) will stay in Germany.

So you are finally going to escape from "Bayernland". It took you a long time. Actually I was always wondering what made you go in first place <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />I think I better stop now and don't type the words I am thinking <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />By the way: Welcome to the club of "German expatriates"

Awesome move!
Are you gonna settle there for good or is it just temporary?
A bit over 3 years ago my wife and I were very very close to move to Sydney (from LA). Unfortunately (or fortunately - we will never know), it didn't happen and we are now in Geneva, Switzerland.
I'm now planning to retire there (or NZ). Sydney is such a great place to live.
