    Apparently the DA 18-250 f/3.5-6.3 is also discontinued (same page as DA 50-200)

      I suspect the 18-250mm will be replaced by a 18-270mm, since the 18-250mm is a re-branded Tamron. I have no inside info on this; it’s just a guess.

    The K-m is not listed on the US website because in the US it’s called the K2000. And the K2000 is still listed as a current model.
