I know that people think that just because it was answered by Customer Service reps in Japan that it means something more...but well, Customer service is still Customer service whichever country it is.
Yeah, I know. I have my doubts as well.
But it doesn't matter for me (I've already got the trio) and it doesn't matter for most people (because the DA Limiteds are stellar as well, and there's no Pentax FF body at the moment). All lenses are retired eventually, it's just the natural course of the market. It's sad if it happens, but there's no use getting upset about it or leaving Pentax because of it.
