Rumor - Possible new Pentax lenses - Rumor

[blackcloudbrew]

Ok, this is a rumor got that?

I've seen on another site the suggestion from an add in Japonese that Pentax will release the following lenses - DA*10-16/4 SDM (non fisheye), DA*20/2 SDM, DA*28/2 SDM

This was announced with the rumored Pentax 654d & a K-m2 (odd choice).

I know this is just a rumor but maybe not with the PMA coming later this month.

So if I'm wrong, you didn't hear this from me.

I know that there a lot of people gagging for the medium format 645, so I can see the thinking behind that.

The KM was very short lived and  I have heard that this was due to the end of production of the sensor it used. If the KM2 comes in at a price well below that of the Kx then it makes sense as Pentax don't really have an entry level DSLR at the moment.

What beats me is why they are producing more short lenses when they already have a very good selection. Why do they not produce a long zoom or prime

(Or even the DA* 1.4 TC?)

This is just great....more LBA.  I would want all of these lenses.  The DA*10-16 would be my first purchase.
