What makes you so certain?
Originally posted by xmeda FF system is laughable if compared to any other current FF system because important FF lenses like 12-24, 20/1.4, 24/1.4, 28/1.4, 35/1.4, 85/1.4, 135/1.8 etc are still missing, while competitors do offer them and in most cases customers even have choice between own or 3rd party options. Not to mention telephoto lenses or special lenses like tilt-shift.
Hmm... I can think of 3 FF systems that don't have most of what you're mentioning there: R, Z, L. 4, with Leica M. 5 with Sony FE which is missing a few (most, if we're strict about the specs) of those. I'm sure I could find another system or two which doesn't offer equivalent lenses.
But it is only Pentax which is "laughable", isn't it?
Once again, a simple interview activates the bashing. Either of the interview itself - as they didn't publish the specs on the November camera or something - or Pentax.

"Following trends" to me is doing what's more popular and ignoring everything else.
People have vastly different needs and wants, and as Pentaxians we're rather on the "everything else" side. Maybe "following trends" truly means ignoring the Pentaxians?
