I believe the OP said he overheard a conversation between the two. I didn't detect from the way it was stated that the Tamron rep was the one divulging the info. As for Tamron coming out with a new K-mount lens in response, it wouldn't have anything to do with the specific sensor but rather that there will be a FF camera which, of course, is public info.

If the K-500 does NOT have VF focus point indicators that is a very, very stupid move by Pentax.
Unbelievably stupid because all the competition does. And sine by other competition I mean Canikon and their larger product families cutting a corner on what many see as a necessity just makes Pentax look cheap while the others "get it" on convenient usage. You have newbies often using the 5 an 11-point (slow) focus points and they like to know what actually has been targeted. That feedback loop is critical for them to make better photos.
This is one of the ways good engineering is killed by beancounters and it will almost certainly get a major knock-down on points in the reviews. It did before and will again.

Well, it is just heartening to know that there are real plans going on behind the scenes. Recent announcements have not targeted the upper end users of the SLR system. No upper end lenses, other than the 560mm. No upper end bodies except a slight modification of the K5.
I would like to see a flagship successor to the K5 come out with some improvements in video, focus peaking, better auto focus, whatever they can throw in it. And more lenses -- faster and wider in particular...

Hahah we have the Pentax FACTORY right here under our noses and we have no idea what's being made in there right now except for the current camera bodies. The Pentax people in the plant probably talk through their minds. We could only wish for leaks.
