really, for real reals?

As much of a mock up as that ahem, cough cough, image, looks like, this would be a seriously nice lens.

Apparently, this is a Russia only thing. Nothing on Pentax Japan. Test market?

looks more limited than WR

Hey I read on the internets this is will be the 2010 FF kit lens, since it will probably be the only D-FA lens around!

Why does this make me feel like Pentax USA & Canookia are turning into the redheaded step children for HoyaTax? sniff....we never get nuthin' good anymore...sniff...

Nice find!! thanks for the heads up and it's certainly good news and hopefully a portent of good things to come.
