The 31mm Ltd is out of stock at B&H and Adorama, and doesn't even show up in Amazon.com searches. Amazon.co.uk says it has 2 left. Amazon.de has no black ones and 1 silver one. Amazon.fr only has them through a 3rd party vendor. Henry's in Canada don't have any at all.
Just about all these stores have the 77 Ltd, so it's not like they're avoiding the FA Ltd line.
I've never seen the 31mm Ltd lens in such low/no stock at major retailers and am thinking this could mean Pentax will finally retire this classic piece of glass and roll out that mythical DA* 30mm that was on the roadmap so long ago.
It's not such a crazy idea, right?
