Originally posted by RonHendriks1966 When discussing the possability of a new small sensor mount I was in favor for joining the m4/3 group. That turned out into Q at that time. But that was almost in a different era, since we know see the photograpic world changing fast.
Yes, I was once in favour of Pentax support of m4/3. But that would just be competing with themselves! (I even bought a Panasonic GF1 as a "compact" camera, and it now sits in its box waiting for me to decide what to do with it).
Now I have a Q and I'm building up that as a
separate system from my K system, to be used on different occasions. I want all my lens investment in
both systems to be valuable as part of the Ricoh/Pentax future.
But that doesn't mean that
future Pentax cameras that support all my K-mount lenses should be restricted to
just the lenses that can be supported by
current Pentax cameras. There are opportunities like those being discussed here to break out of that limitation.
