Some of these projected zoom ranges tell me they've got a FF dSLR in the works...

I'm puzzled why a "normal DA" is 50mm...I would have thought it'd be a 33.5mm....

All the new lenses on the roadmap are DA (APS-C) lenses, so no full frame on the way.

They're listed as DA, but the focal lengths make more sense for FF (50mm prime, 24-70mm zoom, etc). And then there's that mischievous little asterisk denoting "changing market conditions"...

Remember that this is a Pentax roadmap. Don't expect the lenses to show up when promised or at all, Pentax still hasn't delivered the promised ~30/1.4 or the 1.4x SDM TC and both were promised several years ago on a roadmap.

Yeah, most difficult-to-develop TC of all time.

It's still there on the new roadmap, scheduled for 2013.

Yep, Pentax has never delivered a TC for AF lenses. The closest they came was the 1.6x AF TC which featured limited AF capability for SMCP-A lenses, but it doesn't support F or later lenses.

1.7x, and yeah... it will actually AF some non-AF lenses in a hacky kind of way. Very prized on the used market.

Well, so much for the FF theory (for now).
