That's ambitious of a manufacturer that seems to have limited production capacity and seemingly is not willing to increase that capacity to meet current demand.
It does make me wonder though, with the speed (or lack thereof) of Ricoh to offer new D-FAs, if Q is more than on the backburner but in the trashcan? Between K mount crop, K mount full frame, and the 645 system they already have their hands full.
I suspect we get 1 D-FA prime this year (the 50mm) and 2 next year (85 and the 35). Perhaps we meet that telephoto zoom next year too.
As far as Ricoh is concerned, they probably aren't since they seem to envision the K-1 being on the market for years. The plus for us in this is, the K-1 II will already have a really nice, updated lens catalog by then... should we get a K-1 II.
I think when that happens (should that happen) in several years from now, the Pentax line might see more Sigma support.. There will be multiple FF bodies out by then (K-1 and K-1 II).. and the K-1 should be closer to 1000 bucks, so we'll potentially have more adopters then.
We are the early adopters to Pentax Digital Full frame. Even a year into it ....even 2 years into it. :eek:

More an issue, to me, is we don't even have an updated set of FF lenses for the K-1 yet and people are already asking about a successor camera? The K-1 isn't even a full year old yet and some are already kicking it to the curb.
Patience!

I'd expect to see 16-bit RAW on the next MF body and not the FF if it shows up anywhere.
