Did you listen to what Pentax/Ricoh said? Do you think they're lying?
Does it make sense for Pentax to make the FF with a brand new mount, with no installed userbase, no existing lens, nothing - when it's already very difficult to make it in K-mount?
Besides, A-mount? That was Minolta's, now Sony's. Even the name is suspect, Pentax had many other letters to choose from.
Your calculated expenses in second hand equipment is irrelevant for this discussion, by the way.
