"New" Lens Roadmaps Have Nothing New to Tell! :-(

Pentax has "updated" and published their "new" lens roadmaps as at January 2013 at their official facebook page.

First of all, let's look at that "latest" K-mount roadmap:-



But if you compare the last one that was published back to February 2012, actually we could find nothing new, except those lenses announced in Photokina last year are now included:-



Actually, the same applies for the Q and 645 lens roadmaps.

Whilst I don't believe that there is nothing in development in the pipeline, it seems that Ricoh has decided not to disclose anything anymore for what are going to happen and they actually keep their lips tight about their plans, if any.

.....and I who by now was hoping for more news/details about the (perhaps) "16-85 WR" lens..... what a disappointment.... Well, Sigma's new "C" 17-70 2,8-4,0 might be the answer for now then.....
What where you hoping for? What new lens do you want to see?

A new K-mount 135 Full Frame lineup! ;-)
There are lots of gaps if we are talking full frame. I think this roadmap is very interim and we will see another come out with the release of the next group of lenses.
I own a 5DII and for Xmas I bought a D600, it's stupid to wait for ever for a FF Pentax.

I really do not understand why till now Pentax do not want to piped in a Ultrawide (10mm on the widest) with WR feature.

Just a DA* Ultrawide to complete the DA* common range... sheesh
Da* ultrawide and 15-85

DA*16-60mm F4 (67mm filter, less than 400g) to complement my 60-250mm for traveling
