All those updates also improve stability and fix bugs.

For my part, I suspect they stopped fixing K5 firmware bugs a long time ago.
Never-the-less hoping for a "D500" style AF update.

Why would they need an update for these lenses if they're the same as the original FA Limiteds but with HD coatings?

On Pentax forums a lot of people are saying it's done just that. I installed it on my k1 and it's made no difference that I can see.

Note that my Pentax is a K5 that I will have had 10 years in May.
So, not having the 1.4x converter and in view of camera age, not expecting any noticeable improvement.
Credit though for publishing an update for a camera of that age.

Oops!
Saw the long list of cameras at Mike's link with the K5 present, but on closer inspection it is with v1.16 from March 2014!
