And for the glass becoming cheap after Pentax closing shop I doubt that, sure some price drops will happens but look at good 4/3 lenses, like the f/2 zooms, they're still quite expensive.

The 4/3 lenses will autofocus if you use an adapter, correct? Are there any adapters for K-mount lenses that will autofocus, especially for screw-drive lenses? If not, you can expect the price of those lenses to eventually reach the prices of manual focus lenses today.

Of course this comment only makes sense in the unlikely event that Pentax stops making cameras that can use the lenses natively.
