Technical adviser told me very clear not expect from our company any more development or add lnses to Pentax .Pentax not interesting cooperated
same time he point how one new modern adapter MC11 cost around 250 immediately add 23 ART lenses for E Sony mount . as APS or Full frame camera with full functional option
So comment about lenses above very hot topic
I’ve heard a few people saying that Sigma support said Ricoh was not cooperative as a reason for not making K-mount lenses. I wish someone would question them about this.
- What kind of “cooperation” do they need?
- They make lenses for Canon and Nikon, so are those companies cooperating? It sounds unlikely to me.
- Sigma used to make K-mount lenses without any issue, but now they need cooperation. Why are they suddenly unable to do that?
It doesn’t make sense. If they said it was lack of sales, I’d believe them. I think they just don’t want to tell customers to their faces that they’ve dropped support, and somehow think they can blame it on Ricoh.
