Help me out here... ML?
Tamron buying Pentax sounds unlikely. How much cash do they have? And I thought Ricoh is in it for the long run.
Ricoh buying Tamron, or Tamron making lenses for Pentax? Would Tamron really announce a teaser like that?
It has to be new products. Could be K mount versions of their lenses (but not Pentax badged versions of those), could be mFT lenses (though Tamron already makes those), could be lenses for Sony.
A larger version of that teaser image:

The design of those lenses looks a lot like the new 35 and 45mm SP series lenses Tamron has, but it is not them. It has to be new lenses then. So brand new lenses, and in the same vein as the 35 and 45 SP. Maybe they will also offer it in the K mount, but I doubt it will be about K mount lenses primarily.
How about competitors to the Sigma Art series, or cinema lenses? In the latter case, Pentax is kind of out. Then again, the 2 already existing SP lenses are with stuff like AF, so not really cinema focused.
