Yes I agree with Paul and would add that for those not familiar with a roadmap:
a roadmap is made to give customers idea about the future
developements. It is already unusual for a roadmap to show all lenses
currently available. Also a roadmap is nowhere a commitment to
informations contained in th
The roadmap lists recently released and new lenses. That doesn't mean
older lenses will no longer be available. But I wouldn't be surprised
if the lenses for full frame are eventually taken out of production.
However, like most Pentax lenses of the past, there are plenty of
them out there,
It doesn't look quite that way to me.. Pentax seems to be planning on
three lens lines. Fast "Professional" * lenses all with SDM.
Relatively small compact very high build quality, but slightly slower
Limited lenses, (lots of pancakes no room for SDM probably), and more
Consumer oriented DA

Yes, the 10-17 only a good choice if you want fisheye distortion. If
you plan on correcting most of your shots to rectilinear, you're much
better off with the DA 12-24.

Thanks for the link, Mark. But I am afraid I have grown highly skeptical
of Pentax lens roadmaps. If this time they manage to fulfill their
promises, the DA 17-70 and DA 60-250 will surface almost two years af
Nor are the wonderful 31, 43, and 77mm limiteds. Will new Pentax
owners be unable to enjoy these marvels?

Yep, it's a teleconverter.
A "ref converter" is for the eyepiece.

I notice that the 50/1.4 does not seem to be on it.
Has that been discontinued?

In line with the small size of the limited lenses I expect it to be an
f3.2 pancake.

Oh sweet! 15mm is a bit wide for me, but I'd like to see how it does
compared to the older 14mm. Personally, I still want the 10-17 Fisheye for
my ultra-wide needs.
I hope that new DA*30mm is a 1.4, it would be a great slightly-wide normal
A new rear converter as well. DA*60-250 in now scheduled for summer. And an SDM
55/1.4. Sounds good.
