I would not be waiting for a Pentax 17-35 FA. I
suspect that Pentax would rather make an 18/2.8 to fill that hole. A FA 18/2.8
Limited + a FA 20-35/4 will possibly be cheaper and smaller than a 17-35/2.8.
Pentax is indeed working on image stabilization.
When or whether it reach the market is up to the marketing guys. Silent wave or
USM rumors exist but their credibility is totally unknown (to me).
Pentax said at the Photokina show in 1996 that they
were considering an 80-200/2.8 without power zoom. So far it hasn't
materialized.
You write to Pentax engineers by posting at PDML;
or at least the marketing people who decide whats going to be released. The
engineers have made both Image stabilization lenses, exostic ultrafast glass,
Z-1p replacement etc. The marketing people decides whats going to reach
production.
