Of the four new lenses Pentax already offers two of them, a 24-70/2.8 and the 150-450 (which is faster than the Sigma 100-400). The 14mm and 135mm would be nice additions, but perhaps Pentax is already planning to fill that gap. I probably wouldn’t want the 14mm, because the Pentax 15-30 pretty much covers that off. The 135/ 1.8 would be nice perhaps.
