1) Japanese manufactures can not make decent ultra wide primes - that's a quote, but I agree with it.
2) Nobody in Pentax land would want to pay for a decent ultra wide prime - my impression, but anything above $600 is called expensive here.
3) Cameras with mirrors in the light path are about to fade out - why introduce retrofocus lenses for dinosauer cameras. Manufacturers will wait for cameras without mirrors that allow for much easier optical design of wide angle lenses.
4) Most people do not buy prime lenses anymore. Pentax used to introduce a lot of primes - the last introdcution of a "missed" prime lens was long ago - let's not talk about several versions of 100 macro lenses, as well as 35 and 50 mm lenses or simple redesigns.
