And I think you can do a much better job than being constrained by a list of questions. Good luck with the interview!

P.S. Are you planning any Photokina PF meet up?

They aren't stupid. They WON'T announce such a lens without the FF camera coming with it.

New question from thibs: Why are you so stupid?

Will Ricoh unveil their new slogan "Imagine: Under Engineering" at Photokina 2014?

After new announcements of all other brands, Ricoh looks very pale. Does Ricoh understand it?

Does the announcement of three of the four lenses shown as 2014 or later on the roadmap mean that the fourth, the DA wide zoom, is not 'under engineering'? The omission of a WR wide landscape lens is glaring.

Is Ricoh still commited to the Pentax brand? Only Pentax on the left wall in the pro area at the booth. No big red Pentax logo at show.. what is up with that? Are you trying to bury the Pentax brand? Why no Pentax.com? What is your logic on just forwarding it to Ricoh Imaging? Do you think that burying the Pentax brand is going to sell you more Pentax cameras?

Will they refresh the FA Limiteds with HD coating? Also besides the HD coating will they add weather sealing and motor?

1. There has been some speculation in discussion forums as to the feasibility of restoring discontinued film era lens designs to production. What are some of the technical reasons that prevent legacy film-era lenses from being updated to perform with modern sensors? Have some of the old film-era lens designs been evaluated for possible reintroduction into the current digital imaging market place?

2. Compared to film era cameras, the view through the optical finder of any modern APS-C camera from any manufacturer can be compared to looking through a tunnel. Can any APS-C camera optical viewfinder possess the clarity and brightness of the Pentax LX finder, for instance?
