AFA the K-1 becoming a non-starter, my gut feeling, rather, is demand will outstrip supply at first. If it is an outstanding camera such as the 645z I believe demand will stay strong for quite some time.
Regarding legacy lenses I was referring generally to the stockpiles of non-star K, M and A lenses held aside for resale when a FF camera is released. I assume the secondary market for various F and FA lenses is more liquid since it is likely more current dSLR users also want auto-focus.
An example - until the last few years a K35/3.5 or K28/3.5 cleared around $299 on eBay. Now one is fortunate to sell one for $129. A small part of me believes Ricoh is less concerned now about secondary market lenses supplanting potential new lens sales - that might have something to do with the (at last) timing of the FF.
