Apparently Pentax will be announcing 2 new lenses with the K-r and
K-5. A cheap 35/2.4 normal and a 18-125 consumer superzoom. The 35/2.4
will be plastic-mount and sub-$200 USD. Given the slow speed when the
equivalents from Nikon and Sony are f1.8, I'm also expecting it to be
quite small.

It'd better. There's been talks of 30/2.1 as well.

F/2.4??? That better be false.
And if it's true, the lens has to be no thicker than a rear lens cap.

Yep, as a pancake, why not.
As a fast normal, no way, even DA-L.
Simplest thing would be an FA35 repackaged as DA-L.
Easy enough IMO.

I expect it to be significantly smaller than the Sony or Nikon

Your camera actually gets shorter when you put this lens on ;-p
One regret I have is never buying the FA 35 2.0.

Yes, as it's a mirror lens. Then the lens mirror mirrors the mirror box and
you get lost among endless mirroring. At that point, you no longer notice

There's an interesting rumour thread over at APUG, it seems that Carl
Zeiss may be expanding their new line of 35mm lenses to include a ZK
line, with an announcement supposedly at PMA.
This would be interesting, as it would mean that there would be a
readily available 85/1.4 in K mount again
Saw that rumour too.
I'd be a great news for Pentax if only because a brand with such
recognition offers support for Pentax bodies.
I hope it is true but I won't hold my breath on this one.

Heck, you can get Schneider lenses in K mount as OEM. g

I can imagine it would cost about $1249 in the US.
But that's just my imagination, of course ;-)
Close. I paid a little over $100.00 more than that for my A85/1.4, just over
