Metadata for less than 10 mm is already "supported". They just (intentionally?) keep the bug in there which stops the info being copied from makernotes to core exif fields within the camera, because the lens isn't their own.
Bottom line, is that for lenses with a wider focal length of 10mm or less, the information does not make it to the EXIF metadata where it can be utilized in post processing. I really don't care if its their lens or not. They - Pentax, can at least drop the information into the metadata - its no mean feat of software engineering. If they are going to play the game of - "its not our lens", so we will not support them in some fashion, is petty. If, that is their intention, then provide the users with a FULL and complete line of focal lengths and capabilities (shift, tilt/shift, doublers, complete line of Macro, ultra long telephoto, etc.), and do not essentially use third party lens offerings to round out their lens family - and then place phoney limitations on their use.
