Woo!

Pentax released a new road map yesterday:
Roadmap!

I like the idea of a D FA 300mm. I like that cause it would work on film. And it'll have the onboard aperture ring. If, in fact, it's a 35mm format lens, anyway - not 645.

Also, the new zooms are encouraging; depending on price, that DA* 60-250 f4 would be enticing, but not if the planned 300 would be an f4.5 rehash of the old FA* lens. I'd gladly save the weight and space by going straight for the prime. Then my kit could be complete.

Here's the news about the DA* zooms. Even the 16-50 f2.8 is tempting, but I wouldn't get that as an addition to my current gear; it would have to replace my 16-45, and I'm not sure I want to do that.
