I said at the release of the first 645 lens with optical stabilization that Pentax would surely make an FF camera with optical stabilization. It is highly unlikely unlikely that Pentax would develop this technology only for use in the 645 line....

If you do have seen the construction plan of a lens that Ricoh themselves say is "
under engineering", I surrender, you are very well informed and this lens has SR.
Otherwise, I cannot agree with you: common sense
and the comparison with stabilized 645 lenses suggest the two switches on the lens body correspond to the AF/MF switch and focus limiter switch:
- there are nine 70-200mm lenses currently proposed by OEMs: four by Canon (f/2,8 and f/4, with and without IS), two by Nikon (f/2.8 and f/4) and three by Sony (f/2.8 and f/4 in A mount and f/4 in E mount).
All of them are equipped with a focus limiter; why would Ricoh do differently?
- on stabilized 645 lenses, the AF/MF switch and the SR on/off switch are far apart, separated by the distance scale window;
- whilst on DA 560 f/5.6 the AF/MF switch and focus limiter switch are organized in the exact same way as the two switches on the mock-ups shown at Photokina.
