Ricoh is not small company, Pentax is just name of brand, no such company.
The photo division is not big...:) Yes, but Leica is smaller

4-5-6 models are in the shops, do you 100% know that it's in production? :)
K-3, K-50, K-30, K-5II, K-S1 are not produced anymore.
You are confused with K-S1...But, it's the same marketing move as K-01. It's not new line of cameras. IMO.
Official announcement of discontinuing of model doesn't mean that this camera is stopped on the conveyor at the date of announcement. :)
It means that Ricoh doesn't ship this model to the sales. The stores of cameras end. But the real date of production stop could be several months before. The same with K-S2.

It's my mistake now...There is no official info that K-S2 is discontinued. But as I remember - Ricoh has only 2 production line for APS-C DSLR.
K-70 is launched and it means for me - K-S2's production will be stopped soon.

You are mistaken.
K-S1 was changed by K-S2.
The both cameras are discontinued officially (there is such info even at pentaxforums) and totally changed by K-70 now.
The current line is K-70, K-3II and K-1.
K-5II and K-5IIs - it was the one model of camera, in fact.
the difference is AA filter only. K-5IIs is just version of K-5II, produced as body only.
There is no any need to produce such version of cameras this time, because there is AA filter simulation technology now.

Pure fantasies....:) IMO
As for APS-C and FF DSLR - Ricoh keeps 3 lines of cameras now - "amateur" APS-C DSLR, "semi-pro" APS-C DSLR and FF and no any sense and resources to expand this line of cameras.
It's limited resources photo brand which carry 645, K-mount, Q and GR cameras. No any place for more models.
Only the best sales of K-1 could forced to think the top-managers of Ricoh about more models.
But K-1 is still limited in sales. Everybody know that the factories of Sony, Nikon and Ricoh lack for sensors.
As I understand, photo imaging division is just not above 1000 employees. Users demands and hopes are too high for so small division.
Re-branding 24-70 and 15-30 are the result of limited resources.

I hope that Photokina 2016 will give us more info about new lenses. And maybe some of lenses will be real till the end of this year.
As for cameras - only K-3II needs the real upgrade. I think it will be later, not this September.
645 with 100 MP is not required just now camera.
DFA lenses line is the most important thing for Ricoh now and to ship more K-1 to the shops (but there is Sony sensor factory's problems)
And I'd like to see new all weather GR with more MP and sharper lens (although, the current lens is very good).

K-1 will be replaced by K-1's upgrade model in 2018-2019. K-1 will became cheaper. But don't expect any K-1's higher or K-1's lower models in the nearest future.
New DFA lenses are much more important.
