In order to have a good range of newly designed K mount lenses for someone of my years, would require me to live to the age of ninety to achieve it ......and that is not so likely .......
As for the DFA lens, I think it looks very nice and no doubt will render well and be sharp as a tack ..... construction is certainly top notch and it looks classy ........ the price reflects the quality and that Pentax thinks they may not sell many and have added a margin to keep things profitable ........
Patience is a virtue with Pentax and waiting is a certainty ......... seven years after going Nikon I still would have been waiting for a ??- 600mm focal length tele-photo in the K mount ....... and will it even ever happen ?? ........ I doubt it !!
Shooting Pentax was a frustrating period for me ( lenses) ....... and it looks like their products are going to be even more expensive ...... and their customers, rarer ....... as most are looking towards ML cameras ......
...... that's just how it is !!
