But some of those lenses fill a niche unfilled by current offerings (new) from Ricoh. I guess they are hoping to fill those gaps at some point? I.e. there are no (new) extreme telephoto primes (600/4 for example, 400/2.8) in full frame. Or tilt-shift (they prolly expect software to this), or prime portrait (85/1.4), extra wide telephoto (< 15mm), fisheye, soft lenses (like the 28 soft/85 soft of old). You kinda have to buy used stock to get any of these lenses.
