Is the Q system 06 lens design a first?

Was thinking about the lens today. Has anyone ever built an 80-250 eq. F2.8 constant aperture, interchangeable lens with a leaf shutter in it before? The leaf shutter knocks out most 35/FF lens. Medium format had few tele zoom lenses that were 2.8. Did any have constant aperture and a leaf shutter?

The Q 06 is pretty rare without even considering the size. Bravo Pentax!
thanks

I suppose it's a first, though I'd imagine that it's fairly easy to make a Q-sized leaf shutter! Though Sigma did make one of these:

The Q will make a great rear lens cap for the Sigma!
