Which is carefully disguised under the "it's more efficient if they cease operations" pretense ;)

Well... I'm talking about a complete redesign, with new optics, barrels and so on. Otherwise all they could do is to make them HD (even weather sealing should require extensive changes).

My point is: make lenses which can truly be considered excellent by 2016-2020 standards; not by 1997-2001's. Not very big (yet sharp wide open), typical Limited construction. I would pay a reasonable (for both me and Ricoh ;) ) price for such products.

I really hope they'll make a D FA Limited line (but make them DC and weather seal them, please)

The standard? Remind me, how many products are implementing that?

I agree, screw drive AF should disappear (sorry, folks, it just doesn't allow for the required precision, nor is it particularly quiet). But relying on the in-body SR is fine.
OIS itself brings its own share of problems.

The Pentax-made lenses will be made in Pentax' factory from Vietnam, by Pentax. The Tamron-made lenses will be made in Tamron's factory from wherever, by Tamron. Doh!

Ron, stop this FUD nonsense. You tried to "stop" the K-1 from happening, now you're trying to "close" Pentax down. That's a silly game you're playing.
Closing down critical factories is not "very normal", nor what is happening with Ricoh. Hint: they allocated about 60 million USD to "Increase production of digital cameras ,etc.".

It doesn't make any sense. Ricoh is developing Pentax, not closing them down.

I don't expect Ricoh to buy Tamron, but that would be something. If for no other reason than getting Mr. Jun Hirakawa back.

P.S. Ricoh bought Pentax for many things, including business-targeted technology and a functional camera division (not just lenses).
