Yes. I will continue the count and will read the future threads when the FF comes. But as of now, there's this link (Full Frame by PENTAX | RICOH IMAGING) saying that FF will be out in spring and that's next year.

It's already spring where I am

I (sadly) haven't logged in for over a year and a half but I did today and I see that the sky is still falling.

It is good to see that some things never change

This spring link looks suspicious. i find nothing on the normal Ricoh Pentax sites and this is the only thing that comes up when I go to the pentax.com domain.

Pentax Full Frame
2016 Spring Debut

rawr · 09-17-2015, 07:24 PM

So in Japan spring runs 5 February – 6 May.

That's a long time to wait. Another 4 months, minimum. 'Debut in spring' may not even mean 'beginning of spring' ...

You will find it on the Ricoh Japan home page, so it is legit.

**Mikesul** · 09-17-2015, 07:35 PM

You would think there would be something more than a labeled photo to announce such a major delay.since they claimed by end of 2015 in the original announcement. Boy, do I not regret picking up my A7Rii if this is correct.

I heard that the delay is because the problems on the K3II, they said that produce enough cameras to change the bad stock is the cause of the delay on the manufacture of the FF, but not problems in the design of the FF itself

Well i read this on the internet

from where i took the link of the delay until spring, but that is just a rumour, dont believe me...

normhead · 09-17-2015, 07:50 PM

We are constantly reminded Pentax is a small company that has stayed competitive by accurately estimating how much production capacity they need for each model. SO, it's not surprising that if there was a snag in production somewhere it would put back the FF. But that's good. Hopefully, I'll have my tax return, the price will have a chance to drop bit, and I'll have a choice, Pentax FF or D FA 150-450. Or maybe I'll buy something for the wife.

Do we need a countdown to Oct 6th?
