Italics is by me. One of the things that may follow from this statement is that Pentax may get more income by developing even slower lenses that moderately fast FA limiteds. This seems to be in line with the fact that all DA limited lenses are slower than F2.4.
Again, to my personal taste and preference it means that Pentax is no longer attractive.
And I openly and freely admit that I wasn't smart enough to realize this earlier.
