It's not difficult to write the words, and truth is not a criteria in such cases.
Besides, you forgot about Sigma.
Highly doubt they're gonna be making updated Kmount lenses anytime soon, they're barely even making any for Oly/Pana (only 4 primes so far) & Sony (8 primes, 3 zooms so far). Their main money makers right now are Canon & Nikon.

Not to my knowledge. Yet the claim is there, that the D FA* 50mm "must" be a Sigma - on the dedicated News thread.

Sensor, Schmensor...

I know this is an impassioned wake up call, and I'd love to see it, but who makes a sensor to fit it? - What would be the cost of commissioning one, and how many units would you have to sell to recover it? It would be a huge gamble - it would be great if it came off - people buy 30K 645s after all - but it would have to be very very good. Yes they can do it, but would they take the risk? regrettably (?), I doubt it
...just make a camera to look as SEXY as a 67 does....put the 645 sensor in it.

Only if they're prepared to sell a BILLION of them...

Cheers,
Cameron

Lack of advertising = Lack of sales.

I did see k-1 ad in one issue of Outdoor photographer and I think I've seen one Pentax poster in a camera store in Montreal.
