Anybody else noticed the countdown on the front page labeled "FFeatured: Countdown"?

Adam, what are you doing to us?

His fingers were very jittery, that's all.

Implying something that many pentaxians waited for... or simply a typo? but if it's for lens release... why do a countdown?!

I can wait 5 days since I happen to be broke right now, any idea if this will be a Limited edition ?

Looks like this FF may be really happening

With the 50-135mm, this lens would be superfluous without a FF.

While either the body of full size is not that much distant, perhaps, that, the lens for full size is done release, it appears don't you think?"

Hard to argue with that (inasmuch as I found it incomprehensible)

Oh come now, it is perfectly clear. Pentax might, possibly be working on a "body of full size that is not too distant", so Venus or Mars. "This lens is the star lens" so again an astronomical reference. And "able to expect optical efficiency" clearly means it works best in clear or no atmosphere. So obviously Pentax is working with NASA on a replacement for the Hubble telescope.

It will be called the Heliosphere Density - Faculae Accumulator (HD-FA) 70-200.

I bet the FF stands for "fun format". It's like a fun sized* candy, just with the sensors.

*If you are not from US and haven't seen fun sized candy, that's what people call sad sized candy here.
