hello Pentaxians,
I just wanted to let you know that I contacted Zeiss in Germany as I was considering the Distagon 18mm f/4 as a superwide prime in anticipation of the purchase of the FF body. Here is their answer. It is quite a corporate/vague answer but it means they are not completely closed to the idea I think:
"Dear Cyril,
Thanks for your inquiry.
Depending on the demand for new high-end full frame DSLR lenses with Pentax K-mount, we will consider this for the future.
For further details, please do not hesitate to contact us!
With best regards
Bertram Hönlinger

I am a Pentax owner and will probably invest into the new FF body (being anounced beg of October). I don't think they will anounce any super wide angle lens and I would be extremely interested by your Distagon T* 3,5/18 for Landscape Photography as it can hold front lens filters, it is a prime lense (so very sharp) and suitable for FF bodies. Pentax won't probably be producing such a lens before some time. In the past you used to have Pentax mounts but it seems you have stopped producing them. How likely would it be that with the upcoming FF you might start having K mounts again?
