Pentax has announced some new firmware updates for the following cameras.
The Autumn lens-specific custom issue is called KYUSHU (九秋) and compatible with the following lenses.
HD PENTAX FA 43mmF1.9 Limited
HD PENTAX-DA 70mmF2.4 Limited
HD PENTAX-DA 40mmF2.8 Limited

By the way, there is a part of Japan called "Kyushu" but this is a different lettering. It is an old name for the month of September.
It's quite a muted look

A very interesting thing, which is Japan only at the moment, is the option to buy an activation code to unlock a new feature on the K-1 or K-1 II called Grad ND. This offers a graduated ND filter effect by setting the desired strength of the effect before shooting and merging two exposures. There is note that sale on other countries is not "determined" yet, but I think they will do it as soon as they can sort out how to take payment and clarify an legal issues.
There is information in Japanese on it on this page.
