Well, I don't really know... but I think there will be less incentive to keep prices low when/if demand rises. So, sale prices may vanish if the FF camera inspires a lot of demand.
However, just because of price point, the number of people who can afford a FF at (I dunno) $2500 USD is only a fraction of those who can afford a very capable K-3 at around $700 USD. So, maybe lens demand won't be a huge part of the consideration?
For me, the big question is this: What all "comes with" the FF camera announcement and in following months? More lenses of various types not yet mentioned? A few Ricoh/Pentax surprises? A refresh of the FF Limiteds, "now with HD"?
If there is a gap in your line-up and you can afford the pain, now is a good time. These are the lowest prices seen in some time for these lenses. Or wait for the FF, see what happens, be open to buying a used lens or two if prices rise. I know the feeling. I'm having the same thoughts too.
Should be just a few more days now! ;)
