I don't think so, but without changing lenses / concept.
The problem being backorders (last month >20.000 worldwide) for the two ageing GR III models, monochrom for sure is within RICOH imaging's plans once they have solved their production ramp up.

Yeah, the absolute values are quite obviously limiting the % result's credibility.
The question is how was the sampling made... :)

Its all about "rumors" actually, but i have no credit with this one particularly.
Just because the same sensor as the K-3III has been derived in a monochrome version... and is said to enter the next GRs product line.

Simple for me : the bigger the sensor, the wider the flange reduction and the compacness improvement ML/SLR.
But OK ML investment is not that easy to "make a return of", my initial point is that they seem to have given-up with no imagination nor audacity.

I think you didn't get me right : the differentiating factor against Fuji was the "full" 645 sensor that the Fuji GFX mount cannot support (too narrow).

Of course the machine wouldn't compete pricewise with Fuji.

Pentax apparently lost the opportunity to enter Hassy/Phase One Club... leaving Fuji with cropped-only sensors.

I profundly disagree with this, and also the way things happen.
Future of traditional photo-maker is in narrowing niche BUT exceeding low-standards / small size sensors in order to differenciate from smartphone-mania.
When they launched the 645 digital line, i remember they aknowledged/communicated strongly on its "Professional" orientation.
We have been awaiting "Pro" services for ages, and now they discard the whole line the same way as the fun-enough-not-to-be-serious Q line.
What i mean is that is dreadfull marketing, and unfortunate premice of Pentax suicide for the future.

Buy the way, on which line do they actually concentrate ? None, or so timidly, no-one has noticed.

This... XXth century oldfashioned and doomed to failure recipe in a changing market.

4 years ago, i spoke to Europe's Ricoh representative (as far as i remember Mr ONODA) in telling him that the best thing Ricoh could possibily do was launching a new mirrorless 645, preferably with a "big" sensor, with included adaptor for old lenses ; together with a set of 2-3 new ML lenses...
Mirrorless made so much sense for big sensor...
But no arm, no chocolate.

Exactly, but at least before closing the line, they could try to launch some crowdfunding, no ?

? Ricoh.Imagine.Change ? Anyone there ?
