I would love to see a Prime > 100 mm for the full frame K1- Especially something in the 200mm range

There's the DA* 200mm and DA* 300mm- both are FF compatible (officially).

The DFA*70-200 is better than any prime I have used in the 100-200 range. Considerably better than the DA*200 with respect to chromatic aberration and autofocus, and at least equal for sharpness and resolution.

You could always try to find a secondhand F or FA 135mm f/2.8 (I own the FA135 and quite like it). That fits within your "greater than 100mm" specification, even if it's not quite as long as you prefer.

I've seen quite a number of examples of the DA*50-135 shot using its longer lengths with different teleconverters that are nothing short of stunning in IQ, showing little-to-no vignetting.
So much so that I may source a teleconverter and pop mine on my MZ-S once in a while - something I'd never considered doing before.
