Originally posted by DaveBlack I do believe I listed a few lenses a few months ago in this list. My wants/needs haven't changed any for the past few years. I have the following Pentax lenses; DA14, DA15 Ltd, DA21 Ltd, FA31 Ltd, DA35 Ltd Macro, FA35/2.0, FA43 Ltd, DFA50 Macro, DA*55, DA 70 Ltd, FA77 Ltd, DFA100 Macro (both versions), DA*200, DA*300, DA*16-50, DA17-70, DA*50-135, DA*60-250. Both Limited lens line are great. I should buy the DA40 Ltd just to complete the Limited lens line. Still it really doesn't serve my needs so I haven't. The DA* zooms are good lenses but could be better in both Image quality and quality built. Still very good work horse lenses.
What I waould love to see are:
1. A high-end super-wide weather-sealed zoom. Something like a DA*8-16 (most likely a f4.0 lens.)
2. A high-end super-telephoto lens that at least can get to 300mm. A DA*135-300 f2.8 would be great. Even a f4.0 would be ok but would like something a little faster maybe a f3.2.
3. A 1.4X weather-sealed high-end TC.
4. A high-end weather-sealed and fast normal lens. Maybe something like a DA*28 f1.8 or a DA*30 f 1.4. With Pentax odd focal lenghts and f-stops maybe a DA*29/f1.5. :-)
5. A DA*400/4.5 or DA*500/5.6 super-telephoto prime.
Re-introduce the whole FA* lens line-up would be great.
A new DFA* lens-line-up with a 12-24, DA*24-70 and DFA*70-200 would be great.
Anyhow, good luck with sending the list up to Pentax/Ricoh folks.

You have a fantastic lenscollection! Your wishes are also very interesting! If only there where more buyers of those hi-end lenses then there would be more of them.
Thanks for al the votes, I never had thought we would reach 450 (or even 500) voters when I started this, but it would be nice now it is within fingers reach!
