Would be surprised.... the Sigma 18-35 lens is not FF
Pentax already have the FA-J 18-35mm full frame lens, noy currently available but I guess the basic design is there and would just need tweaking.
"RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. announces that the launch of the HD PENTAX-D FA★ 70-200mm F2.8ED DC AW lens is changed from autumn 2015 to April, 2016."
which may be significant regarding the FF launch date.

Nothing to do with the FF frame launch. The 70-200mm should have been launched earlier, but had to be put back because they hadn't noticed a problem with the foot.

The new date might have been chosen to coincide with the FF launch.
