I'm not one bit interested in 'updated' lenses that have no filter thread.

With the notable exception of the HD 10–17mm Fish-Eye, are there any current Pentax lenses that lack filter threads?

This one: HD Pentax-D FA 15-30mm f/2.8 ED SDM WR, otherwise I might have gone full-frame for the beautiful maximum angle. W/A is difficult that way, and a fast W/A lens will have too curved a front element. For me, speed is not a selling-point when there's no thread.
