I would guess that a mirrorless APS-C would be more successful than a retro FF for Pentax. Is it possible to have other than k mount with a retracting K mount adapter?
I'd bet a Pentax APSc MILC will cost more than K-1, so many will be disappointed. There's no marketing justification for making a retro or add-style Pentax MILC. It wouldn't sell enough units to justify the cost.
Pentax APSC Mirrorless is real but not really soon, I don't think. I suspect it will be like K-1 - a solid offering, fabulous IQ, some innovation around the edges. My only real doubt is video.
I think there is a strong argument for a native K-mount Mirrorless, but after K-01 I think it unlikely (although I think 'the market' is incorrect in that regard).
I think there will always be a place for dSLR's; MILC's have as many fundamental, irreconcilable limitations as they have strengths.
