Yeah, perhaps, but Pentax is still selling the 16-45, at least on Amazon, and you'll pay a bit more for it than for the 16-85.

If that's new, it's old stock. If you look closely you'll see it isn't sold by Amazon or Pentax directly, it's "sold by ...". The 16-45 hasn't been produced for a while now.

Actually, it is being sold by Pentax, but Amazon says it is the last one. Hmmm, may be now or never.

Whoops.  While it says "by Pentax" in the initial Amazon display, when I called up more information it says that another outfit was the actual seller; so you are right.
