I'd have thought it would be more the other way around!

Unless you've run out of DA lenses to buy and focal lengths to cover, it seems to me you have little to complain about. Talk less, buy more.

Not until they've recouped the R&D and production costs from the current HD model.
Originally posted by Davidparis How about a decent 70-200 now that Tamron and Sigma pulled out?
Already coming in D-FA* form, but if they'd released it after being told it wasn't good enough yet then the likes of you would be screaming "PENTAX IS DOOOOOOMED!" louder than you already are!
Originally posted by Davidparis How about that DA12-28 HD?
At ten years old this one probably is due for an update, but the full-frame lineup needs to take priority for now. You're more likely to see an HD version of the 12-24, maybe with DC if they can fit it easily inside the current casing.
