Reworking old lens formulas might not work. The optimum image circle isn’t the same. And there’s something about the older lenses that causes fringing. Clean sheet new designs are probably a better direction. In my experience, the new zooms are better than most of the A and FA primes.
I'd love for them to take some of the Rokinon/Samyang primes, make them weather sealed, and autofocus, maybe even HD coatings. My Rokinon 24/1.4 is a stellar lens for night photography. They've got a bunch of other nice looking lenses as well.
They could also team up with Sigma to produce some of the new Sigma lenses in Pentax mount, since Sigma isn't interested.
