I'm not one of the people who will be buying this lens, I don't think I'll ever be buying it, but I'm excited nonetheless! I can't wait to see this, the 85mm and the new camera along with whatever else they're planning on releasing!

Oh... So eBay? That's where I get most of my Pentax stuff.

There's more to his tweets. Under the tweet about the 70-200 f4:
70ｰ200F4の開発中断の理由は不明。今年の1月時点で既に精巧なモックアップまであると聞いたのでマーケティングのやり直しかな？
The reason for the 70-200F4 development interruption is unknown. I heard that there is already an elaborate mock-up as of January of this year.
and
いずれにせよ、新型APS-Cフラグシップモデルの発売が2020年初めにあるので、それに合わせてDA ⭐︎シリーズレンズの高性能化が急務らしいのでこっちを優先していると思われる。
In any case, since the launch of the new APS-C flagship model is in early 2020, the performance of DA を ︎ series lenses seems to be urgently in line with that.
In a reply to a comment to his 70-200 tweet, he says that this is just a rumor he heard from what someone was saying. So it's all just rumors and speculation.
Under the 85 1.4 tweet:
1本25万円とかだったらどうしょう？
What about 250,000 yen per bottle?
Isn't Google translate a wonderful thing.......

It's a very common condition among hobbyists known as Gear Envy. It's highly contagious, chronic, only sometimes deadly (mostly to the recipient but rarely to the carrier), incurable but also easily treatable. The treatment is either the purchase of more gear (the newer the gear and the more that it comes from one's favorite brand, the more effective the treatment) or patience until more gear that you desire becomes available.

Was? Or will be? The translation of the tweet (courtesy of Google) that I get doesn't show a "was" between "DFA 85 F1.4" and "released."

Basically, it'll be available when Ricoh announces it. There's pretty much nothing heard yet about the 70-200 f4 as far as I'm aware.

He is certainly entertaining to watch and he seems pretty fair. He gives digs to Pentax when needed. I was watching his video on the DFA* 70-200 vs the Tamron G2 70-200 and he was talking about being surprised that the DFA wasn't as sharp as the Tamron doing outdoor portraiture. It was interesting. I didn't see the whole video because I fell asleep after that bit.

Stuff 70-200 f4 optics into a slightly oversized 50-135mm body... That would sound like a good idea.

I like her. "Save the lenses! They're the most important part of the family!"
