It's another normal zoom. I wouldn't hold out for it being anything special. It's a normal zoom an aps-c version of the FA 35-135 f3.5~4.5 updated to have a wider AOV at the near end. Expectations? It could be an optical gem, or it could end up being drek, but it most likely won't be fast.

Interesting zoom range(s). But all shown as DA so far, not DA*.
And FINALLY an AF teleconverter. Again, DA rather than DA*. But after waiting 
15+ years, I guess I'll take what I can get.
18-85?

If that's f/2.8 (or faster) that will go pretty much right to the
top of my shopping list. Particularly if it's a DA* or at least WR.

For photographing at the dojo, that is pretty much exactly the
range I need, but since I can't use a flash, I also need faster
glass.  Unless, of course the replacement for the K-5 can shoot at
ISO 25,600 as cleanly as the K-5 does ISO 6400.
