I don't have any feelings as LIKE, LOVE and HATE if we say about any gears.
I'm realist. If K-1 can reach D5's AF system, it could be cool. If it couldn't - I don't care. It couldn't upset me.
But I don't see how it could be.
Do you really think that Ricoh could produce the same AF system with 2 times lower price than D5?
The sales volume of D5 and D500 will be MUCH higher than all Pentax cameras together.
To produce very complex AF system and cover the expenses are rather hard task for so small company as Ricoh.
That's why Ricoh will offer another advantages in K-1 (with good AF (I hope), but not the best AF).
