If true that's 50% more than Sony/Nikon are asking for their 20mm f/1.8 - thus even faster/wider lenses.
You may argue with the build quality - maybe - but this is still a steep difference.
I suppose that Pentax is banking on their reputation in JP. Just from hearsay, they seem to have a more Leica-like image there. It's probably their main market nowadays.
Of course, if it's working out for them, they should go for it.
