Should be in the next camera models. SD cards aren't so expensive as XQD, and it looks like UHS II is becoming mainstream.
That said, this is not about lenses.

Regarding top notch lenses, too bad that Zeiss lenses aren't with autofocus , and autofocus lenses aren't exactly made of Zeiss glass.
Pentax could make a Zeiss lens and, ironically, add the autofocus and WR to it. We could not exclude that some people would complain because Ricoh would have rebadged Zeiss primes and they would rather prefer a native Pentax design ;-) Or my ignorance in lens design would not know that manual focus allows optical designs that wouldn't otherwise be possible for motorized AF.

Indeed, because it's basically a RED product. RED have sold their camera business to Ricoh and are henceforth focussing on smartphones with holographic screen (google "RED Hydrogen One").
And still Ricoh can't provide at least decent video quality in their products.... :P

Sure it is. Ricoh is launching the new Limited lenses with the new body.

Doesn't have any of those specs other than the sensor.

hmmm... still not hydro-dynamic and lacking port and starboard attachments and turbo drive. I mean if we are going to dream, let's dream BIG.

It would be nice to see Ricoh to release ANY Pentax product - it's certainly been a while.

Well, if you need Pentax to release ANY new product, I suppose you have bought all Pentax products of the 645 line, Full Frame line and apsc line. If not (you haven't purchased everything Pentax) , just pretend that the existing products that you don't have are new for you.

That's a ridiculous conclusion to come to. Perhaps they are looking, specifically, for lenses that aren't yet released by Pentax but have been stated or hinted at. Just because they are waiting for those lenses doesn't mean they need to buy every other Pentax product that doesn't fit their goals to have a claim.


Besides, I think the view is simply seeing something launched by Pentax versus the quiet nothing we are in at the moment. Releasing new products shows the company is still alive and well. Paper launches and verbal assurances only go so far.
