Last Clearance - Instant Rebate for Lenses with the Purchase of 645D and K-5IIs

So, it seems that Pentax is trying to clean up the last stocks of the 645D and K-5IIs at this moment and that promotion of those FA Limited full frame lenses is obvious. It might hint that replacement of the two models may come shortly and that a new FF body might come, too! Otherwise, they need not to promote those rare FF lenses in their current lineup so keenly! :-D

New mount for the PEntax FF ?
I a see a new apsc DSLR rétro smaller.... "LX style" in black or silver would be very logical after the mx digital compact
Just when 6D looks extremely tempting! Hope the coming FF could also focus at -3EV, has more and smaller focus crosses.
Perhaps the Limited lenses are also being replaced with modern motorized weather resistant FF versions ?

Going to be hard to beat those limited lenses - I have all three and they are the only reason I stayed with Pentax and finally bought a K5IIs from a K10d.

I like them too but

the 31 is so bulky I rarely use it - the DA40 and DA35 are much smaller, the latter even macro-capable, and all have excellent optical and build quality.

the 43 is one of my favorites - however it lacks quick-shift, and from F/2.8 on downwards there is no huge difference to the excellent DA40

the 77 was a real disappointment - much hyped, but really bad purple fringing. The DA70 is far better (and AFAIK even FF-compatible despite the name).

Same here, Chris. Amongst all the Pentax lens models you've mentioned. I just don't own the 31 and 77 by now myself. The reasons are as what you've said.
Ah, I thought you have all the Pentax lenses.
I wait you guys with K5 IIs to sell your gear when FF comes out so i can get it for cheap ...

I bet that you will still want the new FF body by that time instead of a K-5IIs! :-)
FF = heavy ... The K-5 is heavy enough for me...The "confort instinct" begins to kick me ...
Same thought here. But I hope Pentax will make the impossible possible and create a FF body that is the most compact among the Canikony FF.
