As I have noted before, the 55/1.4 shows on the Pentax USA site as available, shipping within a day of order. B&H does not yet have a listing for this lens, and I asked them why. This is the response:

Hello, my name is Dan W:

Thank you for contacting the Photography department at B&H Photo Video and Pro Audio.

At this point in time we do not have a price or shipping date. Please contact the manufacturer directly for more information about this newly announced product: Web: http://www.pentaximaging.com/

My reading between the lines: Pentax wants a reasonable profit. B&H wants to have a low enough price to be able to dominate other retailers. They haven't agreed yet.

Meanwhile, if you want one, buy at full-price directly from Pentax.
