You can buy six Full Frame Pentax lenses at the moment at f2 or wider:
FA 50mm 1.4
FA 31mm 1.8
FA 43mm 1.9
FA 77mm 1.8
DFA 50mm 1.4
DFA 35mm 2.0
Lenses of f2 or wider are inevitably primes not zooms. Pentax has in recent years been concentrating on FF camera and zoom lenses plus KP model instead of wide primes. There is a limit unfortunately on how much Pentax can produce at one time. It is not the case that it doesn't want to produce fast primes. We had the DFA 50mm 1.4 released last year and the DFA 35mm 2.0 (a re-vamp) released this year. The DFA 85mm 1.4 is expected to be released next year. If you want a fast prime there is certainly plenty to choose from that is still in production.
Originally posted by midnightvisions but looking at all the pics on 500px, most pictures are from lenses with F ranges that Pentax doesn't make
I have just had a look at the "most popular" page today on 500px. As expected the range of the max aperture of the lenses used is between 1.2 and f4. The range of aperture used is between f1.8 and f11. I only saw one picture taken with a lens that cannot be replicated by a Pentax lens (a 35mm 1.4 lens)
