Originally posted by jatrax 5) Will it be possible to see additions to the FA Limited line? Or will those slots be '*' lenses? FA*24 f/2 for example is not a Limited. 6) Can they give some insight as to how the lens catalog naming will play out? We have Limited lenses, '*', lenses and so on. Will this continue and what exactly do those designations mean? Do they have a definition or specification of what it takes to be a '*' lens for example. 7) The media coverage of the K-1 was well orchestrated, or at least by far the best job I have seen from Pentax, ever. Is this a new direction? New emphasis on getting the word out and marketing that has not been seen before? 8) North America repair has had it's bumps and issues. Any comment on efforts to improve that situation? Or comments on "Professional level" repair service and loaners?
We actually discussed these points yesterday, so here you go:
5 - it's certainly a possibility, though nothing like that is planned at the moment looking at the roadmap.
6 - the naming will continue as it always has (limited = small, good and made of metal, * = fast and good). They do aim to make cosmetic appearance and the ring color more consistent.
7 - lots of efforts are being made behind the scenes (on a global scale).
8 - another key issue that will be addressed. See more insight in the link I added in post #58.
