The Pentax rep said that the lens was officially discontinued monday,
two days ago. I had one back ordered for 3 months and they said it
will not be possible obtain that lens.
If such a sad thing happened, I guess B&H will soon be forced to
change "back-order" to unavailable.
No more 50/1.4... telephoto!
Didn´t Pentax plan to introduce a Limited DA-lens in the 50-60mm range?
That would be nice if it has an aperture in the 1.4 area, even if it
was more expensive. Then it would be smart to sell all the old 50mm
1.4 before they introduced the new one (remember what they did with the
FA 100mm 2.8 macro).
