That was already evident at Photokina last September, where they were only promoting the Pentax co-developed lenses. At that time, I was rather surprised by that. Now I better understand it all as a re-shaping of their line, something that Pentax did in 2005-2006 with the infamous Pentax lens massacre (which in practice killed all non-digital lenses). That was fruitful from the Pentax accountants point of view (less so from the customer point of view).
