Exactly! And the thing is these relatively inexpensive lenses should never 
be 'off the shelf' if there is a demand.  Pentax shooting themselves in 
the foot again.  They're likely creating a continous cycle of customer 
frustration.


I don't think you could expect these lenses to be in stock on permanent 
basis. Pentax only sells the *istD's at present and there cannot be much 
demand for more exotic glass. The *istD's aren't very impressive anyway and 
I cannot imagine than many without Pentax lenses are buying them. Lenses 
that are natural partners for the *istD seems to be available everywhere; 
even the Limiteds. When Pentax release the D200 competitor the lens line-up 
availability certanly need to be better. But as to right now I don't think 
it matter for that many.
