It took a while to get it. I think it was over a month from order to delivery. I do wonder about the reason for the wait. I kind of doubt that Pentax would keep the parts laying around and assemble the lenses on order. That wouldn't make much sense. If the parts are available then they might as well put them together. It would make even less sense to manufacture the parts for just one lens. I would think that they'd drop that lens since they've added the DA 14mm to the lineup. It's all very mysterious.
From what I understand, the Nikkor 6mm fisheye, the 13mm ultra-wide angle, and the 2000mm mirror lens were all custom made, after the customer placed the order for the lens. If Nikon did some of their exotic lenses this way, why not Pentax?
take care, Glen
