Growt of userbase is very important. I don't think we will ever see a prime in the range 100-135mm/f2.8 since that is covert by the DA*50-135mm. There is also not much sence in bringing a 400/f5.6 since it is to close to DA*300, but I would love to see it.

That tooka wile to see that wish
I would want it, but discussions about it in dslr-section.
Originally posted by abacus07 Is it possible that Pentax could start upgrading the DA limited lineup to include WR and further distinguish itself from a DA L lineup? Or is WR for primes overkill and something that consumers won't be willing to pay for?
I do wonder how much extra costs are involved for turning say a DA 70mm/f2.4 Ltd. into a DA 70mm/f2.4 WR Ltd. or even give it a DC ringmotor?
