I'm not surprised there's a lull. Those who would buy a K-1 or KP have now got them, quite a few of those who went full frame have wallet fatigue while they're saving up for D-FA f/2.8 trinity glass (if they want it), and everyone else who wants a high end Pentax DSLR is holding off to see what the K3-ii successor is going to be like.
Then there are us who own a K-1 and are waiting for new lenses to drop..
I really don't think they planned the K-1 system too well.. or they genuinely were surprised at the interest.
Because I would think they would have started the full D-FA lineup BEFORE the K-1, so new lenses would be ready every ~6 months. And, they did start it with the 150-450mm and the 70-200mm in late 2015/early 2016 but since then (minus the 28-105) there has been a lull indeed in lens output... I think we've gone well over a year now without a single new lens on store shelves.
