I hope you were being sarcastic here.
The quality of these lenses is Pivotal for Ricoh. This will establish their reputation for a long time to come - especially the 70-200/2.8.
They can come out with a fairly mediocre body - especially if the price is reasonable. They'll have more than one anyway - not saying exactly when they'll have two, but they will. Even if they turn out two mediocre bodies they can recover about a year later, and they'll get it right then (because they've already proven they can with APS-C). Not so easy to repair a lens reputation that hasn't even been built up yet.
