I'd expect to see any such lens announced as a possible 'kit lens'
with the new FF body.
I'm with Paul, though - the newly announced item that interests me
the most is the 150-450 zoom. I've got an 80-200/f2.8 that I haven't
used since I got the 60-250/f4, so the 70-200 doesn't really tempt me.
Pentax probaby wont support aperture rings on this new FF body to help
keep it cost competitive, but once they get a few FF bodies under their
belt, there's always the possibility of supporting the rings later on a
top line model. ??

these new D-FA lenses are larger, heavier, and more expensive than a
DA lens of the same focal length and speed so it seems there would be
no reason for pentax to develop and sell them UNLESS a FF digital DSLR
