Well, everything goes up the price, Pentax cameras too. Remember the ruckus here when K-3 Mk III price was announced?
I think top-of-the-line lens will sell. Maybe not to old pentaxians who are swimming in sea of lenses from several decades of gathering, but to new people interested in reflex cameras. Which are, in my not so humble opinion, clients that Pentax is aiming to attract. KF has pretty much complete line of consumer/beginner level of lenses of various grades. What it lacks is modern offer of high grade lenses for all types of photographers for K-3 Mk III and incoming K-1 Mk III.

Originally posted by Wasp I suppose that the kitchen was not big enough for both a 200/2.8 prime and a 70-200/2.8 zoom. One of them had to leave. Prime telephotos are so last century - get with the program and get a zoom!
Maybe. And frankly that is what Pentax lacks - information, even general, of direction they want to go.
For 3 cameras we have 6 lens lineups (*, Ltd, normal times 2 for APS-C and FF) and all of them are getting stuff in a way that looks a bit chaotic. It is my personal opinion, maybe Pentax has some plan but if customer does not know about it, it creates the famous "Pentax is doomed" line we hear each time they actually do something.
