Well, there's an awful lot of people not knowing a thing.

Go to the page here for K-1 II sample images. The last few images claim to have used the lens "HD PENTAX-D FA*50mmF1.4 SDM AW". Below it says: "The lens used is Beta version, and the name is tentative."

The last two may also be examples of hand held pixel shift.

Have we seen an optical formula for the DFA*50 yet?
I wonder if this is accurate

Ain't the new Tokina Opera 50/1.4 looking very similar to our upcoming D-FA* 50/1.4?

Not this again!

Nah - it's a lot bigger.
Wait to see the new Tamron Cultural Extravaganza 50mm f/1,4 if you want similar

I hope so

Still I liked the old Tokina/Pentax jointly designed lenses, except maybe 16-50*

Optically, all designed by Pentax but 12-24.
But I agree, my 50-135 is a diamond.

If it happened to be true ( I wouldn't be that surprised, and wouldn't care btw), expect an awful lot of other stupid complaints.
