So, Ricoh has decided to try to cash in on he cult of Limiteds. It was bound to happen.
But seriously, it's a needed focal length that is like a banana.
It has a lot of appeal.
I'll buy it, but then, Pentax could put their name on a wet turd, and I would buy it.
Seriously, well, not really, I just finished a bottle of wine and I'm quite drunk, I am really looking forward to this lens. It is the Limited lenses brought forward to the 21st century, and I bet it will be a dandy lens.
I'm a little confused regarding talking about bokeh on an ultra-wide, it implies a very fast aperture, but the lens they showed looks like it will be somewhere in the f2.4 range. Hardly a bokeh monster considering it's focal length.
I bet it's going to be a kickass lens.
Pentax, I'll just send you m credit card number on this one.

I love you all, and you are all invited to Wheatfield's house next Thursday for smoked Brisket and alcohol.
Especially that cute little engineer in the bottom left corner.
Dear God, I'm embarrassing myself. At least I'm a happy drunk.
Hugs and kisses to everyone. Stay safe, and if you have to drink, do it in the safety of your home. Don't go out to a crowded bar.
