Correct.
We have the 15-30 and 24-70 F2.8 lenses on one hand, and also the 28-105 on the other. the latter lacks a compact, reliable wider companion.
I do own the FA 20-35 and it's a fine lens which I like a lot, however a modern, WR option would be wonderful. If it had the starbusts ability of the best wide angle Pentax lenses (DA15/21, FA43, F20-35 being not too shabby) it would be the perfect travel wide lens.
