Having heard many positive comments about the autofocus performance of the 55-300 PLM lens, what are you hoping the next lenses will be to receive a PLM upgrade?
I'd like to see a PLM version of the FA 150-450mm f4.5-5.6ED DC AW where I'm thinking that the improved AF would be a big plus for wildlife photography. I'd also like to see a PLM version of the FA 70-200 for the same reason, although that would mainly benefit K-1 owners at this point. A lower priority for me, but still on my wish list, would be a PLM version of the DA 16-85 lens, which I don't usually use for wildlife but sometimes use for portraits.
I think the most important for the brand as far as getting good reviews (and thereby appealing to more buyers) is to produce a good standard zoom, an 18-55WR or what-have you. If they'd had something like that around it could have been offered with the KP as a rather enticing package.
Incidentally, the question was also asked in these threads which may interest you:

Hi Pete, I think that's a good suggestion about improving kit lenses.
