Im not with Ricoh anymore, but I was suppose to be at Photokina..All I know that they are working on something!
I would be most surprised if they all just had their feet up!

The biggest problem is none of us have any idea how long they will be working on these things...

Or whether they’ll have anything ready to show, by then. Not long to wait, though.

I've just seen your post on Facebook... sad to see you go. And to that brand...

P.S. Does it mean you can now leak all the secret info about upcoming Pentax products?

Have you ever seen a Yeti bottle? Those things are absurdly expensive for what they are.
Have you ever dropped a Yeti and had to buy a replacement plastic lid?

Yes, point out that since Sigma has left Pentax behind they'd be getting twice the usual amount of business from Pentax owners.

That's a shame, it was interesting to hear your insights, particularly now that the fast lenses are slowly coming, the system appears to have grown to your needs. Still, thanks for hanging around!

It makes sense that Panasonic would be following Leica. They've been working together on m4/3 for quite a while.

And now a Lumix FF is supposedly scheduled to be announced on September 25. Is the sky falling yet?

I cannot speak for details, but again they will be announcing something before or during Photokina

---------- Post added 08-31-2018 at 09:30 AM ----------

And Panasonic's going FF is completely unexpected. My goodness that threw me for a loop. So first they announce they are breaking the camera division off the main corp (like Sony did) and now FF. Wow.

I don't do FaceBook. but when I checked a few minutes ago, you still listed Ricoh/Pentax on your Twitter and Instagram accounts, so this must a regrettable recent change.
