Tamron/Sigma can only give professional answers. No plans...
With current speed of Pentax lens development compared to Sigma or Tamron, it would be interesting to get a deal with Sigma to provide their glass branded by Pentax. This would kill Pentax as a lens manufacturer, but we would have an interesting business model and more lens options for us. The Tamron deal becomes a lame duck looking at the newls presented update of the Tamron 24-70. If Pentax cannot present glass for their cameras, they need to make a deal with someone else.
Btw there are D-FA 50/85. We keep looking at mockups only.
