Those are all FA and FA* lenses which indicates they are producing a FF SLR and possibly a SLT camera, but a mirrorless wouldn't be able to use lenses like these without an adapter, unless they intend to produce a mirrorless camera that still has the same flange as the pentax K-mount.
Originally posted by Winder I think that if Ricoh gives the green light a FF DSLR could be in production Summer of 2012. All of the technology needed is already in production between the K-5 and 645D. The physical body would not need to be anything more than a morphed K-5. Keep the controls and menu system and you have a great camera.
I think the AF system will need work, it will have to match what Canon had in the 1D MKIIN camera at the very least, though asking Pentax to match what Canon and Nikon have going at the moment might be a bit too much to ask.
I would also be looking for a 100% viewfinder with about .92X magnification should be possible, all they have to do is upscale the viewfinder optics from the K5.
