And then in the fine print: "Roadmap might change without notice."
What is interesting is that you pointed out to Olympus' 2014 roadmap which mentioned 3 lenses as being "under development" but didn't promise any date. Double standards?
Also, "specifications are subject to change" is standard, on a public roadmap. Stop complaining and start saving.

Originally posted by Mattox I find it strange too that we haven't at least heard some Pentax rumors/leaks.
On the contrary, it would be strange if we would hear some supposed leaks (rumors, bah, anyone can make them).
With Pentax - perhaps you're unfamiliar with them - we'd have leaks right before the official announcement. Some information is available in advance, but people in the know are keeping quiet.

Originally posted by JeffB Most of those vague descriptors on that
roadmap strongly resemble the other new Tamron SP lenses.
Wide-angle single focus <==?==> TAMRON SP 35mm F/1.8 Di VC USD
Large aperture standard <==?==> TAMRON SP 45mm F/1.8 Di VC USD
Large aperture medium telephoto <==?==> TAMRON SP 85mm F/1.8 Di VC USD
Except those Tamrons have all the same aperture, while the Pentax lenses don't (2 of 3 are "large aperture"). Also, there's the Large Aperture Ultra Wide-Angle Single Focus Lens, with no Tamron equivalent. And the fish-eye zoom.
