If you click on the link "Older products" the 14mm is in there, so it seems it is indeed discontinued.

The 50mm f/1.4 is still available in many places, although repudedly discontinued many years ago, so residual stocks can be moved around the world as demand dictates. I'm sure that the 14mm will be available somewhere for a long time, but not quite as long as the 50mm as numbers will be lower.

The FA 50mm f/1.4 has never been discontinued and is still listedThe 50mm f/1.4 is still available in many places, although repudedly discontinued many years ago, so residual stocks can be moved around the world as demand dictates.

I was speaking with the Pentax Rep in Jessops today (Pentax rep? in Jessops? surely some mistake! LOL)
He confirmed with UK head office that the 14mm is now end of line. Bad news is that there don't appear to be any in Europe either.
Looks like that unless you are VERY lucky to find one in a shop, you will have to by the 15mm F4 instead.

Maybe the competition from the 15mm and the Sigma wide zooms have killed it off?
