They say, "In order to meet the performance which was originally expected." And the new release time will be advised later in December. So, what has gone wrong with this lens!? :-o

We're not told what exactly they wanted to improve before delivery. Perhaps we'll find out, after people who tried the prototypes would get their hands on a final, production model.

Or... it's not the lack of in-lens stabilization, but the brand - you bashing Pentax as usual?

The "latest and greatest" SR is the one in the K-3II, specified for 4.5 stops. I didn't try it.
The Pentax FF's is still unknown.
Other brands have in-body stabilization with various degrees of effectiveness.
And FTR, I never claimed that "IBIS" is better; I would never make such blanket statements.

Or, maybe, turn on ILIS in some older Canikon lenses? What? Doesn't work? Doesn't exist... What a shame... And I can use stabilisation with my old manual Tokina 300mm, or with my old AF Sigma 400mm just because they are compatible with my Pentax K-5 and there is IBIS built-in...
Seriously - what is better: to have 5 EV stabilization (useless if you subject is moving, anyway) with selected, expensive lenses, or 3 or 3.5 EV with virtually ANY lens?

I know this as a fact there is no question about this date.
I would expect the 70-200 to be release prior to or with the FF. I don't expect the new version to be better than the out of production FA*. Again the FF will absolutely be release prior to April first. I'm just not sure which year. But it will be prior to April first or as it is better known Pentax Day!

Also I have tested 150-450, this lens doesn't have this problem.
