There are at least one but don't know when it will be released. However, 
you may not want to own it.

It seems like there will be a "full" line of Limited lenses it's just that 
it won't be "natural" to own all of them.

That was not a Limited lens but a plain FA lens. The lens got so far that 
it had gotten a product number and a price (the same as the 31 Limited). I 
don't know why this lens has been delayed; maybe it's shelved.

Sorry Paal,

I was asking a leading question.  You'd mentioned additional lenses.  But you 
hadn't specified Photokina.  I hoped by asking if there would be MORE then 
one you might confirm that there might be at least one.

I want to build a quality compact 35mm system.  I LOVE the Leica M-series but 
not the cost.  I'd like to build an MZ-S & Limited lens kit but can't justify 
the expense if Pentax isn't going to release a full line of Limited lenses.

Huh? I don't think I've said anything of the sort. Pentax people have 
suggested that there will be many Limited lenses. When they will be 
released is anybodies guess. I have no idea if they will show a Limited 
lens at Photokina but it seems plausible considering the time frame between 
each Limited lens release.

What I was trying to say in a previous post is that the Limited lenses 
cannot be considered a matching set of prime lenses with evenly spaced 
focal lengths as a form of kit, but rather an addition to the current FA 
and FA* lenses.
