Actually, Pentax have long had a FA 87/2.4 Macro Limited lens developed that
have not yet been released (along with a 118/2.4 Limited). The lens focus down
to 1:2 by itself but the kit will include either a small extension tube or a
dedicated close-up lens for bringing it down to 1:1. What solution will be used
was not finalized when I got this info a couple of years ago. Such a lens could
be a great replacemnt for both the two FA macros.

The context was some moaning about some macro lenses being out of production
and the sky was falling. I wonder if there is any chance some bored Ricoh
executive on his lunch break will remember the old plans and restart the
creation of some new Limiteds for the new K-1?
