Well, there is a new rumored 70-210 2.8 on the Pentax Lens roadmap for FF, if you believe in such things... perhaps that will be the new style Tamron in disguise?

There is also a 135-400-ish lens on the roadmap. Although not really the subject of this topic, that's probably what mattipuh's referring to.

I do not understand.. you have so much great lens and why you will even think jump due to less third party support...

Pentax isn't going to announce a FF camera. Tamron is, it's going to feature the K-Mount, use Pentax technologies, and after 6 months, be rebadged and sold as Pentax.

This is the right solution
