Not long ago the number of "bids" for new things from Pentax on here would have fazed Canon - more bodies and lenses on APS-C, more on FF, a new 645 and more lenses, a GR or several GRs with different focal lengths, more Q, Theta, etc. Given their size today, they can't possibly do all of it even with the best intentions. The core is the K-mount and I'd guess the 645 may be a close second Other things are very nice to have but not the meat and potatoes. Of course another GR would be good to have and I would very probably buy one too, but if things get pushed to the back of the queue or even off it in order to focus on the core elements then it's the outliers. Ricoh can't do everything. The recent interview on DPR didn't make it sound as if a GR was either a priority or likely to turn up any time soon. Limboland. If you leave something for too long then times change and the audience for it fades away, making it increasingly less attractive to produce, imo.
