No, it isn't.
Quite a sensible rumour, though. If the K-r and in particular K-5 turn out to be successes, I think the time will be right for Pentax to launch an FF.
All their recent new lens releases have been FF lenses (even if they are not labelled that way). It is quite likely that even the DA 35/2.4 has an FF image circle. |

I meant the MF lenses.
Cosina is making them. This is fact.
I don't know who is making the Zeiss AF lenses. |
Ah, I missed that. Yeah, that probably makes sense. I know that Cosina/Zeiss and Cosina/Voigtlander lenses for PK weren't doing as well as the Nikon/Canon counterparts, at least in Japan. Probably because Pentax has a pretty good lineup of primes, from DA15, 21, FA31, DA35, FA35, DA40, FA43, FA50, DA*55, DA70, FA77, FA85, D FA100. Cosina wanted one more system besides Canon and Nikon, and until now they thought Pentax was it, but with Sony doing better (?) they decided the third system would be Sony A. Too bad.

I have word from the German distributor that it is indeed correct that the Voigtlanders for Pentax are discontinued.
Foto Mundus have taken over the remaining Pentax lenses and they said there will be no delivery problems in the future.
