This is a MAJOR blunder by them.

What's really irritating me is the sloooownessss of new Limited lens availability.

Where's the Limited answer to the variosonnar?

You know Pentax's got to have some Limited zoom prototypes kicking around in the lab, not to mention primes wider than 31mm and longer than 77mm.

Where's the real wide Limited? The 31mm is super, but it's but it's wider than a the basic 28mm. Give us a Limited wide (something in the 20mm-24mm range) that isn't the size of a barge. An f2 or even an f3.5 would be dandy as long as it's worth the Limited tag.

Where's and where the heck is that macro Limited or the classic telephoto in the 120mm-140mm range?

Look how long it's been since they've released new teleconverters, doesn't a set of Limited teleconverters seem like it has to be somewhere on the drawing boards? What are going to do with your MZ-S and your Limited lenses, stick those old fashioned teleconverters on them? I don't think so.

People want to know! (this people does anyway ;-)

See y'all Monday,
