This thread needs some asahi-man and kenspo.
Why? Asahi-Man speakes in cryptographs and Kenspo is staying low and zigzagging

They would have to be insane to launch another in the K-1 series while their "faithful" are awaiting a K-3 replacement
I totally agree!!

Why?
They were useful, and appeared to have some closeness to Ricoh.

I thought Kenspo was as straight as he could be but Asahi-man I'm not so sure. I think Ricoh has put the clamp on both till just before the release date.

Damn, I just got gr II, if they announce gr III I'd be a sad panda)
Haha wow all the replies since this afternoon. I guess more of us than I realized were having thoughts on this subject. Honestly I was relieved to hear this news today, so much fear and doubt out there at other places (cough) that it even started to make me wonder a bit. But, not anymore! I will divulge only what I'm allowed too if more info comes. But if I'm under NDA of course I'd expect the patience and politeness these forums offer vs. cough, other forums .

kenspo is still posting #Pentax daily on his Instagram account. He’s been run off by a few vocal Forum posters, just like asahi man*.



* When DPR is more welcoming than PF something is amiss.

Its a shame if they were to stay away, I always enjoyed Kenspo's posts. I probably wasn't a member during Asahi man's time here.

They just list everything and figure out what space they need and surprise us when the show starts. Anything new is progress! I suspect they will have pre-production DA*11-18s to try there.

While I would like golf shirts, beer cozy's and a mouse pad that can be converted into a protective lens case... I would like to see a KP mk ii AND a K3 replacement AND a new GR with a fast zoom lens option to boot...!!
