An interesting question, Rory.
I have no idea what Pentax's next tactical move will be in terms of products, but last year Hoya's CEO told us very clearly the company's strategic direction for Pentax: since Hoya's camera operations are - in leadership's view - unsustainably small long term, Pentax will first concentrate on making the business profitable then work to secure a partner or (recently according to Citi) find a buyer for the camera division.
It may be that the next new vision for Pentax products won't appear until that partnership (or sale) is complete. We'll see; at least we live in interesting times.
