Not for me really. I have what I need right now, as well as a lot of things I don't, and only have a very short purchase list, most of which I cannot afford.

I expect, based on the new selling price of the K-3III that the price for this lens will be astronomical, (not to mention the fact that inflation is heating up and will end up eroding even more purchasing power).

I do hope that Ricoh sells a boat load of them, to keep the K mount system alive.

It looks like Ricoh is coming out with a new version of the 16-50:

My first thought is that they really ought to have made it a 15-50 or some 
other adjustment to the range just so it isn’t confused for the original.

I also note that this bodes well for K-3 iii owners, but maybe not so well for 
the K-1 crowd.

In any case, it will be interesting to see how it actually performs once it is 
available.
