RE: FA* 80-200/2.8 discontinued?

[Alan Chan]

Perhaps they finally noticed it didn't sell after so many years? Personally, 
I am not that optimiztic. Remember the A70-210/4 was replaced by 
F70-210/4-5.6? Perhaps Pentax will go the f4 route since Pentax f2.8 zooms 
don't sell. Or they might just make some DA f2.8 zooms to keep the cost 
down?

I don't kow if anybody noticed it, but it dissappeared from Pentax Germany
(Europe) pricelist just like MZ-S and few others before. IT makes me wonder
- what are they preparing? DA tele zoom in similar range but in smaller 
case
and lighter? FAAA* lenses with USM and IS for FF Papa-D? New anti-fungus
unguent?
