Is Ricoh betting the future of the Pentax brand on a hunch that mirrorless is a passing fad? It seems like high stakes poker to me. Nikon and Canon went all in with mirrorless.
On the other hand, developing a new mirrorless lens mount is a gamble as well. Damned if you do, damned if you don't?

Let me say that I am very disappointed by this news. One of the uses of an EVF is to aid in manual focus. One of the USPs of Pentax is the wide range of historic K mount lenses.
The focusing screens in modern DSLRs are designed to make el cheapo kit zooms look good, not for actual focusing. Although most recent Pentax bodies have the ability to change focusing screens, Pentax will not sell you one with a proper split image focusing aid. Now they won't do anything with an EVF either.
That USP is not much of a point, it seems...
