I do not think Ricoh needs to do such a thing. They are well established and well funded. Crowd Funding from my perspective should be used by upstarts. I would never support a major corporation trying to use crowd Funding, but as usual opinions will vary.

One advantage of crowdfunding is , companies not only receive the finance for a product but they also have the sales , and a good predictor for the demand of their product. An item that is unique enough should gain attention and mention of said product in print magazines and online.
I think an "MONO" only GRII Ior a full frame GR is such a product.
Or an add on EVF to Pentax DSLR.

I would run away so fast if Pentax did this. I would treat it as the end of Pentax.

Forums like this is hopefully where Pentax looks to see what Pentax users want.

To help them design their next camera. Take the ideas from people who care.

Well looks like Ricoh is crowdfunding!
"3 way" binocular and monocular projects - PentaxForums.com

Now how do we request crowdfunding of the Q macro lens?
Thanks,

Would take very little effort to improve the K-1 II to let's say a K-1 III -> bigger buffer and usb 3.0 interface for the card-reader. -> done -> much better camera. I hate the slow burstrate and to wait for the next shot once the buffer is full. That's the only thing that really needs to be improved from my point of view.

No crowd funding needed.

Betteridge's law of headlines - Wikipedia
A little more from Wikipedia:
A 2016 study of a sample of academic journals that set out to test Hinchliffe's Rule and Betteridge's Law found that few titles were posed as questions; of those, most were not yes/no questions; and of those that were, they were more often answered "yes" in the body of the article rather than "no".[13] A 2018 study of 2,585 articles in four academic journals in the field of ecology similarly found that very few titles were posed as questions at all, with 1.82 percent being wh-questions and 2.15 percent being yes/no questions.[14] Of the yes/no questions, 44 percent were answered "yes", 34 percent "maybe", and only 22 percent were answered "no".[14] In 2015, a study of 26,000 articles from 13 news sites on the World Wide Web, conducted by data scientist Mats Linander, found that the majority (54 percent) were yes/no questions, which divided into 20 percent "yes" answers, 17 percent "no" answers and 16 percent whose answers he could not determine (all percentages rounded by Linander).[1

Looks like the law is a dud.

I guess the writers of the articles thought "Yes", but maybe the real answers were "No"
