I dont want to get into any kind of slanging match here.
Im heavily invested in Pentax having been using their equipment since the K100d.
I am just pointing out that the lenses which Pentax are releasing are overpriced. The 2 mentioned above with prices are copies of Tamron lenses at double the price. The Tamron offerings have USM motors, weather sealing and VC, They are not the budget offerings they once were.
I know pentax already have lenses which were designed for full frame but im not interested in manual focus and old school screw drive any more. I want up to date fast and quiet lenses which take advantage of the full resolution and technology in the camera.
if they are a copy why dont tamron release them then on pk fit ( oh yeah i forgot tamron are in bed with canon and nikon to try and get shot of pentax as are sigma orelse they would have released there big lenses in pk fit at time off release)I dont want to get into any kind of slanging match here.

I will look at a purchase later in the year when SRS do their Black Friday deals but at the moment I am still happy enough with my K-5IIs and tbh I really haven't seen any photos taken with the K-1 that make me want to rush out and buy one right now.
At the moment I am more interested in upgrading my 7D and am in 2 minds whether to stay with Canon or sell the lot, free up some cash and get myself a Nikon D500 and 200-500mm for air shows/wildlife.
you havent taken them lol
on the other hand why not keep the 7d for another year and see what lenses come out for the k1
