Huzzah!
That's an interesting development. It would seem that Pentax don't plan
to introduce any *new* (I don't count DA limited with different coatings
as new, sorry) prime lenses. I wonder if any of these zoom lenses will
be faster than constant 2.8.

Interesting zoom range(s). But all shown as DA so far, not DA*.
And FINALLY an AF teleconverter. Again, DA rather than DA*. But after
waiting 15+ years, I guess I'll take what I can get.
18-85?
If that's f/2.8 (or faster) that will go pretty much right to the
top of my shopping list. Particularly if it's a DA* or at least WR.
Boris and Larry:
You are hoping for a faster-than-f/2.8 zoom.
I haven't seen such in K-mount, and I am not aware of any in other
mounts (but that might be my ignorance).
So, why do you think Pentax would produce such a fast zoom?
I don't think so. I even doubt it'd be 2.8, as otherwise it would've
been a DA* or a limited.
Igor
A zoom that stayed 2.8 through-out a useful range would be nice.
