Zenit might have considered Pentax for its FF camera goal at first but in the end Leica wins out . After all, Leica is a much attract brand name to associate with.

You should stay with Pentax. Otherwise you could not enjoy the privilege of paying a premium for the same lens in non-Pentax mounts.

I am interested in knowing what Tokina's "Opera" version will be priced at. :)

No Pentax?

Sorry, I couldn't help it. :)

How many K1 had been sold? Surprise me with the number. I mean it.

Now let's wait and see if all these efforts from whoever they are help Pentax sells a few more cameras. Quarterly result in three months.

Nothing to refute about? I guess DPReview did such a thorough reviewing job that Pentax thinks its best reaction is staying silence.

I am curious why Ricoh/Pentax hasn't come forward and made some kind of official statement when something like this happened its most important camera product line.

Yes, if Pentax offers a downgrade (to K-1).

Sit back and relax. Pentax K-1 Mark III will come in no time.

Thanks. How did I missed that? The situation is a bit different though. Pentax looks up to Ricoh for money whereas Nikon's imaging division contributes money to the corporate.

What's new about Nikon?

Darn it! I thought AT-K has a nice ring to it.

There goes Pentax's plan of improving dynamic pixel shift mode from 4 images to 16 images in the next model.

Yes, that write-off will not impact any decision that Ricoh has on Pentax. And the restructure of business segments is pretty much done. The loose end is what Ricoh would say, officially, about ...

Interesting comment. :) I have a theory of what would happen to Pentax and your comment seems to imply I am on the right track.

The quarterly financial announcement is only a few days away (4/27). A big write-off is turning the result into huge loss. I assume Ricoh will also conclude its business selectivity and say ...

GM would have wished they were in camera business. Product defect is ok. You can masked it off or just talk yourself out of it without worrying lawsuits.

I hope Nikon's mirrorless cameras in development are not using Sony's sensors.

I knew it was just a matter of when you would leave Pentax. And here I predict that you will go back to Nikon in two years. :)
