Unlikely for the IS lenses. I'll bet that Pentax will go with the in-camera stabilization by moving the sensor like Minolta-Konica. This is a much easier approach compared with replacing the entire lens line. I now this does nothing for film, but Pentax just can' afford to invest much in film anymore. They are going to have enough trouble keeping up with digital, and that is where all the money is.
Maybe Hypersonic motors for AF however, that works all around.

Anybody can give a working link to this news with pictures ? I heard that some FA lens might be stopped (such as 80-200mm f/:2.8 FA ) and be replaced. May be it is the beginning of the stablisation and the new motorized lens ?
