When I spoke with Ricoh at the Photo Expo in NY this year they mentioned they had no intention of advertising in order to remain small and minimize loses. Does Ricoh still adhere to this strategy?
-Why not work with Fans and Youtubers to help promote awareness of their products among the current fan base?
- Does Ricoh want to keep its current consumers and how do they plan to do this?
- What is the economic and overall goal of the K1 II?
- Did they do enough with the K1 II?
-What would they say to a Pentax fan who is disappointed with the specs of the K1?
-Why did they not improve video, substantially improve AF, add USB 3, and/or make improvements to the body of the K1 II?
-What does Ricoh want to tells its fans?
- Why should a Pentax owner stay with Pentax when there are so many better options in the market?
- What is Ricoh’s plan with APS-C, the GR, medium format, and mirrorless?

Does Ricoh listen to it customers and what does Ricoh think it’s customers want?
How did this knowledge of the Pentax customer help shape the Pentax K1 II?
How does the innovative modification process of the K1 to K1 II work? What are the conditions for sending in a K1 - how long does it take, what condition must the K1 be in and what specific features does it add to the K1?
The idea (of being able to upgrade the K1 to a K1 II) is revolutionary; is Pentax considering this for other current/future Ricoh products?
Would Ricoh ever consider a new GXR or another product like that?
How substantial are the AF improvements on the K1 II and will these improvements come to the K1 as a firmware update?
Any changes (for better or worse) to Dynamic Range in the K1 II?
Why did Ricoh end production of the K3 II without introducing another APS-C pro-level successor?
Is Ricoh considering new grips for the KP? (Some believe the current grips are too small)
What makes the new FA* 50mm 1.4 so special?

Why not bring the older FA* lenses back to fill the void in FF lenses?
