Needless to say, my 1970's era Sekonic L-398 agrees 100% with my K-r plus 18% grey card

Ya I don't get this whole "mirrorless" talk - correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't "Live view" = "mirrorless"? One could simply take the mirror out of a K-5, and either use the back LCD for focusing, or go Sony's way and create some sort of electronic viewfinder. To keep the K mount the way it is, the flange-to-sensor distance has to be kept the same. So the only way "engineering and optics says it must be so" to change the mount in order to go "mirrorless" is if they change that critical distance. Why would they do that? One reason is to make a smaller camera (i.e, the Pentax Q).
Hopefully Pentax keeps the K mount - Nikon kept theirs, Canon sort of did, and the cine PL mount is industry standard....
Canon is releasing a new camera supposedly next month - people have already noted the price drop in their FF offering. Hopefully Pentax/Ricoh makes a FF as their new "flagship," and start (re)producing some AF lenses again.

As I said, in the Dear Pentax thread, I would like Pentax to bring out something that can do the same as a N----n D700 has been doing for the past 3 years now:
- FF (don't care about megapixels, just low natural noise)
- open-aperture metering with K and M lenses (de-cripple the KAF2 mount)
- full manual setting
It would mean either ditching Pentax and forking over $4000+ to N---n for a body with 3 prime autofocus Nikkors or keep my A28, A35-70, A70-200, M50f1.4, M50f4 macro, K35f2, and K55f1.8 and spend $2500+/- towards a Pentax FF body!
