I have to chuckle a little. I know more people who shoot pinhole than who shoot mirrorless ILC.

That lacking, something like a K-1L ("L" for Light):- 24 Mpx FF optimized for low noise and dynamic range
- Lower price point than K-1
- Fixed LCD or tilt only
- Next gen SR (Ricoh has several recent patents)
- More petite than K-1
- No flash, no astrotracer to help accomplish above
- Higher magnification viewfinder, if possible

At least a dozen and several more endeavors that simply make apertures and zone plates.

You realize, of course, that all of those except for magnified live view to 1:1 are simulations, right?
No, not quite; it is a highly compressed and massaged version with contrast and color balance far different than even the JPEG capture.

The perennial request is for a minimalist FF SLR in a more compact package. Think something like the below, with AF as an optional module. Think Epson R-D1, though as an SLR.
High magnification viewfinder is on the wish list as are focus aids.

Interesting...As an avid manual focus user, I find that available EVF are inferior, in my experience.
It took me five minutes with the A7 to say no in 2014 and even less time with the A7II in 2017. I guess that qualifies as refutation. :p
The subject of a FF Pentax mirrorless has been chewed on over and over and over on this site. The salient points remain:- Would be silly to do with K-mount, requiring a new mount
- If done, it would be years before lens support would be adequate (witness how long it took Sony to spin up)
- Mirrorless AF sucks, even with available on-sensor PDAF
- Battery life
- Might be more appropriate for medium format
There is a reason why Sony and Leica are the only players in this space.
