new Pentax lens roadmap

Looks interesting.  The addition of a DA* 30mm prime particularly piqued my interest (30mm being my favorite “normal” length for a aps-c dslr)

The DA* designation also has me keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a 1.4

the 15ltd also looks potentially interesting,  especially if it is a “pancake” (doubtful as it’s hard to make a lens that wide small)

SDM compatible TCs are also on the menu, a well needed addition. 

The only downside is the apparent removal of the 645d lens, seemingly indicating that the project really has been scrapped.  Sigh. 

But all in all, it looks like by next year pentax should have a remarkably full-featured lens lineup (the only missing elements being T/S lenses and superlong primes – both *very* highly specialized niches)
