Ricoh, thanks for the Q

Announced a week before the major acquisition, it only means that a long shelved project by Pentax was in fact resurrected and pushed forward by a new buyer, who wants a head start of advantages for itself, and capitalise as much as possible on its investment.

Q would probably never see the daylight under Hoya. If Pentax Q is a sign of new ideas and visions coming from Ricoh, then I applaud their dedication, to gather as much innovation and new products under the brand name of Pentax.
Hope there'll be more shelved projects, ideas and products now resurrected.
