So 2019 looks like it will be a big year with the 85 1.4 being shifted to 2019 and the 70-200 f4 also planned for then along with several other interesting lenses. Some may be disappointed in the reshuffle but I am encouraged by the apparent commitment.

And then DFA WR 31mm and 16mm?

Love 70-200 f4!

70-200 f/4 !?!?!??!

YESSssssSSsssssSSssssss......... +sSSssSSsssSSS.

I wonder if this is an adaptation of the Tokina 70-200 f/4 or a fresh formula?

Either way, THESE are the lenses K mount also needs (beyond fast primes).

Only one FF lens for this year! And the "Telephoto Zoom Lens" slated for "2019 or later", which doesn't inspire confidence.

That's nice!
Will certainly be a nice walkaround telephoto lens.

wed7 · 02-26-2018, 07:37 PM

The line shows some encouraging commitment, but the wide angle WR primes are being drifted further. Thank you for the update Ricoh.

surfar · 02-26-2018, 07:37 PM

Four lenses 2019 or later....HOW MUCH LATER, is the Q????

Well, you'll definitely be able to afford it, then, Paul! I'm a Melbourner, you'll have to come around and show me.

Happy to see the firm commitment to the 11-18mm! Bummed to see my 85mm pushed back MORE.

robjmitchell · 02-26-2018, 07:45 PM

Well that gives me more incentive to hold out for the k3 replacement. The 11-18 is way more tempting than trying to upgrade to ff at this point.

I'm very excited about the DFA70-200/4.0 - I'm getting too old to lug the DFA* around

And I might not live long enough to see the others

Ha ha. No Clackers, a fast 50, especially a BIG HEAVY fast 50, is not on my wish list. I'll pass on that one thanks. I already have three heavy FF lenses (15-30, 70-200, and 150-450), as well as the Sigma 35 Art, so now I'm only in the market for more compact walk-around options.
