Many of us will have seen this, but no harm in posting it for anyone who hasn't. It's interesting to see a few survivors from earlier times.

that 24-70 has my eye for the k3.... looks like an excellent studio portrait lens.
but if I do upgrade to a k1 (sadly the info on the video end isn't compelling enough to make this one a "must have").. then the 70-200 will be wanted as well.

I was sure they stated when it came out that the 560mm was not FF capable.
I was looking at this yesterday compared to the 150-450 - it's not that much longer, it's the same speed (at the long end), it weighs double, it costs double....
I see it disappearing quite soon.

Take a look at one first if you can; it is no doubt an excellent lens but quite heavy which is the price you pay for an f2.8. Probably OK for studio work but for more general use I opted for the 28-105 instead.

I also downloaded the Pentax Pentax patent US7715116 which is purported to state that the 300mm is designed for FF but I can't find that in the document................

You don't need the document, the detail is in the K-1 brochure. It lists all 35mm-format compatible lenses, including the DA 300mm f/4.

yeah I have the k3's right now and the k1 doesn't seem (as far as I know) to have any real improvements on the video end to justify buying it... but there's a few options, and I got a ridiculous deal on a barely used 18-135, and my 16-45 is great copy, but the portrait work I shoot is primarily in the 16 - 100 range, my old 28-70 is deceased (again I had a great copy of that lens) so right now I got 35 2.4, 50 1.8 and 100 macro primes but... nothing in the range I use most for a zoom that is constant aperture, and IF I'm going to buy new it'd be a toss up between the 24-70 2.8 and 17-70 f4 but I am sure if I go with the 17-70 pentax will release a ff body with killer video specs (2 generations behind Nikon as always) and I'll want THAT... so I might as well splurge on the ff lens now in anticipation.... ??? will wait to see how superior the 24-70 is to the 17-70.... who knows....

I also downloaded the Pentax Pentax patent US7715116 which is purported to state that the 300mm is designed for FF but I can't find that in the document.
Anyway based on this latest "Roadmap" I am very happy I can use both the 200 and 300 DA* 's on the K1.
