Hmm, 25mm didn't last long...
Fan of DA limited and old manual lenses
Oh wait, yep I got it, it's too flippin' expensive!
Drool-worthy for sure

I can't quite put my finger on it, but it was something to do with the price.

I spoke to a Pentax dealer and price or competition from the 28-45mm wasn't the issue, Unfortunately one of the elements in the lens was apparently made by Tokina and they couldn't produce them any longer.
It must be very frustrating for Rich co to produce a camera that none of the other lens makers are interested in.
Traditionally very few Medium Format cameras had independent lenses made for them. There are so many formats, many with leaf shutters in the lenses, that the market is generally too small for independents to design & manufacture lenses. Its not like you cantata a generic lens computation and stick a different mount on it like you can in 35mm.
The few non-manufacturer branded lenses available in MF are largely joint-efforts with the camera manufacturer.

Missing from that list is Schneider who made some good but heavy zoom lenses.
