Glad to see the price "go down", but I'm still happy with my current lenses. The F2.8 would be nice though...

I've got my FA*80-200f2.8. It cost me less than half the price of this new one. It's my best lens above 86mm in that focal range despite people saying Pentax primes are better.

They need a good normal zoom. The old 28-70f2.8 with spinning front element was not so good.
What has changed in this lens? New optical formula?
I miss a low aperture professional long telelens in the new roadmap.
For example:
HD D FA* SDM 400 2.8 ED or
"compact" HD D FA* SDM 400 4.0 DO (Diffractive Optics) with FF 1.4 and 2.0 converters.
