Originally posted by Clavius That would be very cool! Everybody keeps saying that, but are there any sources for that rumor? I had assumed this DA ltd revamp WAS the new series of lenses. Do you believe they will be announcing things that aren't on the roadmap?
I believe Ricoh will announce and release product/upgrade in a constant stream over the next year. Some will be game changing, some will be incremental.
A new series of lenses qualifies as game-changing but actually couldn't even be ON the
current lens roadmap, now could it? But if we look at the K-500 / K-50 (incremental update into
more traditional dSLR bodies) and the DA Ltd. updates (a consistent, more
outwardly modest brand identity when taken along with the K-bodies) maybe we can tease out an idea of the path Ricoh has laid out - along with Q and 645 - for the Pentax brand..
Who knows? Only the shadow knows.
