Originally posted by Ben_Edict If I read the initial post correctly, Pentax does NOT say, they'll keep the FA Limiteds in production. What they say, is they keep selling them for the time being - that could easily mean, they are selling off the remaining stock. No word oabout keeoing them in production.
Alas, I cannot see any factual message in this short email exchange, that would underline Pentax' commitment to actually continue production of the FA Limited series. But as I cannot read or write Japanese, there may be something lurking in those lines, which I simply do not get.

I edited my initial post slightly:
"FA Limitedレンズは、今は販売中止の予定や情報はありま
せん。ご安心下さい。"
Here is a direct translation as I can manage:
(as for) FA Limited lens, (as for) now, sales suspension plans and news (gossip) do not exist. Please have relief.
The only thing factual is that it came from someone working at Hoya in Japan. It's about all us "normal" people we can get, right?
I think the primary goal here is to directly tell Pentax Japan what we want as people who have invested time and money into their photography tools.
