The DA * 11-18 is the last APSC lens you will see from Pentax - Ricoh this replaces the 12-24, and keeps faith with the buyers of APSC bodies k10 to k3 mk2, this lens was designed with help from Tamron and is made in a reconditioned ex Ricoh printer plant in the Philippines, as for all other focal length requirements Ricohs answer will be purchase full frame and put up with the 1.5 shift, the SDM 12-24 16-50 50-135 60-250 were contract made by Hoya - Tokina they will disappear in the next year as stocks roll down, this ends Ricoh's association with Hoya, Ricoh will now make all future Pentax lens in conjunction with Tamron (they own a controlling share holding), the Pentax k2 will appear over the next 12 months and will be a k3 with a full frame chip, the 645G a full frame 45X60 camera will appear before the end of year, its not clear yet if the camera will feature sensor shake reduction or not, do not hold your breath waiting for a radical APSC body its not coming, the future is full frame in the mind of Ricoh.
Some of your words make sense, but that doesn't mean they are true or relevant. As I converse with users at other discussion sites, I discover that there is a reluctance to consider the K-1 because of its relative lack of modern lenses. If Pentax intends to continue to sell the K-1 to those who are not currently Pentax owners, then more DFA * lenses would make sense - but since I don't work for the company, nor do I play a Pentax executive on TV, nor have I stayed in a Holiday Inn Express recently, I think I'll just pop some popcorn, sit back, and enjoy the show between today and CP+.

I'm curious how rectilinear this will be, I bet it this lens plus the sensor on a KP or K-70 will provide amazing results.

Thank you to those who heeded my earlier request to stop the arguments.

I'm now editing or deleting any posts that go against that polite request. Thread bans and, lastly, thread closure are my next available actions. I'd really prefer not to go there...

Thanks again

I am thinking I agree. I am starting to save for this one, I think it will be a gem on my KP. I for one am glad to see Pentax is not completely giving up on crop line-up. It is good to see they still are committed to bringing out new / fresh pieces of glass.

Pentax will likely never abandon APS-C, for what it's worth. Their main strategy to compete with mirrorless is to provide compact crop DSLRs.

The specs have not been released, but based on the product photos my guess would be 77 or 82mm.

Yeah, I agree. A wider barrel diameter would also help prevent vignetting from the filter.

Here it is superimposed on the D FA* 50 which we know is 72mm. So it is definitely not 77mm. At least 82.
