New, bright APS-C dedicated lens: http://www.tamron.co.jp/en/news/release_2006/news0215_a16.html Unfortunately no Pentax mount for now but there's Minolta version planned. Rumours are that Sony has some Tamron shares and maybe they don't want this popular standard lens in K-mount because they will have to compete with Samsung now?
I believe I have read this here before: selling lenses or sensors is a different business line and they just sell to make money. It is not the first manufacturer not to issue a lens in Pentax mount.
