Any words on Pentax DA12-35mm?

Just wondering if there are any news when the DA12-35 will be released? It has been well over 4 years.....

The current roadmap doesn't have a lens with quite that range; as far as I can see there's a DA12ish-28ish, and a large diameter DFA15ish-30ish.
The word from other threads suggests we could expect the latter next year.

Thanks Sandy.....so no words on the DA12ish to DA28ish,,,,sigh....

That DA12'ish to DA28'ish (if DA35ish even better) is what I am waiting for....not so much looking for a 15-30 focal length.

Wondering if I should hunt for a used DA12-24 or not...

That depends on where you are in the world. As we all seem to be from the southern part of the world, you're correct
