I really don't see the problem here .. people have asked for a longish lens made by Pentax and others are getting all defensive about it. If they decide to make one then great and if not then people will move on to a brand that can provide what they want.
It happened before when the Canon AE-1 came out they all said shutter priority was better for the long 600mm f.2.8 lenses they wanted to buy instead of aperture priority that everyone else was using. Later when they realised how much the lenses cost they never bought them and Canon brought out the A-1 with shutter and aperture priority so that people didn't jump ship
Maybe Pentax are going to bring out big lenses they actually have film of Mark Dimalanta using a massive zoom (possibly 250-600mm) on the Pentaxians site link
The 'A' 400mm f/5.6 doesn't look bad. If it was in this country I'd go for it myself. sample pics by a guy who wrote a review on Pentax forums.

I have just spent over a grand on probably the best DSLR Pentax have made .. the main reason for that was because of the faster and more accurate autofocus.
Why would I want to put a non weather sealed manual focus lens on it?
If people want longer lenses then fine .. if they want wider then that is also good but eventually Pentax should be catering for all.
