Likely wishful thinking. D-FA 85 should come first, meaning we aren't going to see any liehgt weight 70-200 for a long while.

Too many smileys for this to be 'information'.

My glass is always half full

. In the UK SRS Microsystems, a major retailer and Pentax main dealer have an event with reps on 27th Nov. I hope they will have something there for the 100th anniversary.

However, the 'normal' course of events is for leaks and images first and they have not yet arrived

Probably, but it looked so 'google translated' that it would be interesting to see the source, if any, or if it was just the poster's fantasy running wild.

DFA大口径広角単焦点は来年CP+の発表と思われる。その前にDFA⭐︎ 85mmF1.4が発売。DFAの望遠ズームは多分暗めの旧製品のHDコーディング化でクリアかな？今月内に 85mmのアナウンスが必ずあるはず。年末に1本は出すと某先生が言っていた。

@ D850K1Mark2

DFA large aperture wide angle single focus is expected to be announced next year CP +. Before that, DFA⭐︎ 85mmF1.4 was released. Is DFA's telephoto zoom clear by HD coding of the darker old product? There must be an 85mm announcement within this month. Tsuji-sensei said that one will be put out at the end of the year.

Was? Or will be? The translation of the tweet (courtesy of Google) that I get doesn't show a "was" between "DFA 85 F1.4" and "released."

Oops

I'm more excited for the 70-200mm f/4 than I am for the 85mm. The 77mm is already such a great portrait lens and weighs next to nothing. When the 70-200mm comes out I'll be ready to retire my fa 135mm f/2.8, my current fav featherweight tele

I’ll be relegating my F70-210 to film use, though I hope the 70-200 f4 will work on the K-01 and K10...

I've found a pretty good looking Tokina AF 70-210 F/4.5 for almost no money and I'm thinking of grabbing it to tide me over... I can see myself using only the 70-200/4 for tele duty. (Plus some faster primes for fun and specific portraits)

Thanks but who is @D850K1Mark2? And who is the quoted professor / scientist?

By the way, the guy also wrote this tweet:

Twitter

'The specifications of DFA 85mm f/1.4, which will be released by the end of the year, will be announced soon. It seems better to give up on the DFA 70-200mm f/4.'

I presume there is an implicit 'for 2019' to be added to the last sentence.

Official announcement from Ricoh, or nothing.
