Why asking the question when nobody no the answer(100 %).

5th is a zoom

So either as many as 4, or as many as 6 (+DA WA zoom)

Kiwipixter · 01-27-2017, 12:58 AM

Can't wait. I am hoping for a 20mm f2.8 for ~$US800.

redpit · 01-27-2017, 01:22 AM

DFA* 50/1.4 by the end of 2017.

Because you will be the prime suspect if anything leaks

xmeda · 01-27-2017, 04:03 AM

They need at least

HD DFA24/1.8WR DC
HD DFA35/1.8WR DC
HD DFA50/1.4WR DC
HD DFA85/1.8WR DC

to stay competitive. If they create something faster like 35/1.4, 85/1.4.. why not, even better.

..copy every other manufacturer out there. You know, pentax need to be original and copy everyone else, that is the key: otherwise Pentax/Ricoh are going to lose market share. Lets make Pentax Great again!

Did I take that too far? I could have said, lets make pentax yuuuuuge! that would have been simpler.
