The day Pentax announces a FF camera is the day K-5 and DA lens sales take a nosedive as people start second-guessing purchase decisions.
Somehow I guess people already doing that.... and buying other brand as well.
I have that new DA* on my wish list but after they remove the *, no longer interested.
The Sigma 18-35, however, is on my list. The interesting lens remain on the roadmap is the "Limited zoom", will see how it compete with the Sigma.
I don't understand why PENTAX want to make a DA 18-85, when they already have 18-135? Doesn't make sense....too many overlaps in focal length in similar range... unless they will use it as the 'kit lens' that replace 18-55, that will beat other makers camera+lens combo offering...
