Hi everyone,
By all accounts, it seems that the K-1 is a really big hit, and has pushed the Pentax brand up a level. For portraiture, I admire the work of those who create photos of very crisp subjects that really pop from their blurred surroundings. Lisa Holloway is one example that was recently mentioned in another thread.

I think one of the main lenses she uses for this purpose is the Canon 200mm f2.

Pentax does have the FA77, which I do have, and it's great, I use it quite a bit for portraits with my K-5. But I'm looking for something longer, for even more isolation. On the lens roadmap, there is a "large aperture medium telephoto" listed. I think I've seen speculation that it might be an 85mm, I'm hoping for something like a 135 f1.8. What would you like their large aperture medium telephoto to be?
