They need more production, at least for the K-1. But other products are difficult to get, too.
Overhere K-1 is not in stock. K-3ii is in stock, same for K-50. K-S2 is in stock, but market as going out of sale. K-S1 is not for shops to order, so not in sale. So basicly there is enough stock and production capacity for aps-c, but not for full frame. In England the K-1 is in stock in several stores. Well Pentax had a marginal sale over the twelve months prior to the arrival of K-1 in stores.
I was at Londen Gatwick last week and had some waiting time. You could buy almost anything there. Even Leica. The Theta S was in one store. But no Pentax anywhere. I was in New York and Washington for one week. I did not see any Pentax in the wild anywhere and that never happend before to me. I have a good sense of seeing a Pentax in use within a 100 yards, but nothing.
