Mr Farreng said Pentax expects to stay in the MF market for many more years, rather positive news I would say

I might be wrong though, he didn't say anything specific.
Thank you Mistral for your detailed feedback. Possibly joining L mount alliance in case of a ML development makes a lot of sense as Pentax could not develop a full range of lenses in a short period of time as stated by Philippe F.
In this case the only sunk cost of developping a ML body would be related R&D with no additional costs except maybe royalties to use this new L mount
