So the key questions are:-
1) Is the info. from a reliable source (unclear) and its non-appearance due to Pentax delaying its release for some reason (e.g. to sort out quality control issues)?
or
2) Is it just someone's feature wish list?

From PhotoRumours :-
Paraphrased: B&H's (New York) web-site states that the FA 43mm prime lens is not available and cannot be ordered as it is discontinued.
I think this an excellent walkabout lens and it will be a great pity if it gets dropped. However, if this is the lead up to a refreshed WR HD version of at least the same quality being issued, then I'm all in favour.
The lens is now shown as available for order on the B&H site, so it may just have been a tremporary warehouse supply issue and poor phrasing.

If we are talking about the FA 43mm (one of my favourites) & FA 77mm prime lenses, adding water and dust resistant seals would be on my list. (I'd be interested in these on the DA Limited primes too.) QuickShift is the only thing missing from those lenses, and it's a shame. And a DC motor of course. I guess that would require a complete redesign and then we'd be debating whether or not they were as good as the originals!
I note that the latest DA primes have HD coatings. Are the coatings on the FA primes as good / better? if not, I'd want that to be added too.

Kearton

Thanks to all who have provided options. I too has lost links to the tools.
This seems to be a useful,camera-specific bit of info.. Is there any reason why it is not available via Pentax (or other mfrs) cameras' own interfaces?
Is it perhaps available via a hidden menu that camera maintainers can use?

Obviously so fake and obviously pure Click bait for his google adsense account. (If you have ADBLOCK installed you may not see the ads that play before his video)
Just another damn YouTube troll.
That will have been it then.
