I also believe that if Ricoh/Pentax is fully invested in this system, that it would absolutely be in their best interests to generate some soundbites indicating as much. There's no use keeping hush on matters like this, particularly when consumer confidence in the product that your trying to sell is directly proportional to the transparent drive, passion and intentional direction you are showing your potential customers regarding the system. This is why Sony is doing so well in my opinion. They are constantly developing and building up their FF e-mount system. That in turn builds consumer confidence in the brand.

Hi there FantasticMrFox,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have to echo your statement here. I have for months now, been looking at a FF camera system to invest in. The three camera bodies that I have narrowed downn my choice to are the Sony A7rii, the Nikon D810 and the Pentax K-1. I have gone in to several stores and handled these systems and for me, the K-1 is the outstanding choice. The K-1 in my opinion, is unrivalled in it's ergonomics and feature set. It just feels right in the hand, and feels like a real photographer's tool. The only reason why I have yet to pull the trigger, is my lack of confidence in Pentax's (or Ricoh's) long term plan or strategy for the K-1 (or FF) with regards to the lens line up.
This IS the reason why I personally have not pulled the trigger on purchasing the camera yet; lack of confidence in Ricoh's plans for this system with regards to a quality lens lineup that rivals that of Canon and Nikon (and eventually even Sony).
