Is Pentax in the need of a M/L system?

Yeah.. the truth is, such adapter developed by Ricoh will be the only thing that will make such system better than a complete system change. And it will eat up a good part of the weigh gain, i.e. M/L+adapter ~ DSLR.

But this is all a fantasy. Ricoh was not able to develop a second model of its FF DSLR: the Mark II is a joke, seriously.

By future you obviously mean how easily it could be sold on the ebay? I mean, image quality will remain the same no matter what happens to the system..

Not necessarily. It could be a new type of lenses, that will have rear lens closer to the shutter, while keeping other K-mount specs. This is something that was briefly discussed at the moment when k-01 was just released. These new lenses will not be compatible with old bodies due to the mirror. Yes, the body will still be thicker but with lens attached -- not so much.

Btw k-01 is my main camera for last 4 years. The only thing I can complain is that overall performance was crippled. I believe it was done intentionally for the sake of the flagship-of-the-time sales. I mean poor controls, slow fps etc. I totally abandoned AF and focus manually. Yes I miss some shots but I totally forgot how frustrating is to miss the focus.

I want a bigger boat more resolution and perhaps a FF. K-1 would do, but.. I mean, I can use LV with focus peaking and pretend that slapping mirror and pathetic Safox are not there. But man, it is heavy! Twice as my k-01. Just can't force myself into it. Also, the choice of body colors is so boring..
