I expect few, if any, new FA lenses of any type. Pentax, like everyone else, seems to be going digital.
And in the for what it's worth department; I've heard from a very reliable source that the largest camera retailer in the USA is having 10,000 rolls of film going out of date DAILY. I would hazard a guess that worldwide it could be close to 500,000.
