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

The adapter would be a way of saving me lots of money if I decide I could benefit from such a camera from Ricoh/Pentax.

It would be an optional purchase that I would want to make.

I responded to establish the fact that introducing a new mount and system does not have to risk losing existing users of that maker's cameras and lenses.

Neither of us is able to say what proportion of existing Nikon (or Canon) users will buy their adapters.

Perhaps we will see some statistics in (say) a year or so.

(I have a Q System with 2 cameras, 4 lenses, and the K-mount to Q-mount adapter. If Pentax released a new mount suitable for larger sensors such as FF, and I found one or more of the new mirrorless cameras was good for me, I would buy such an adapter).

The new Canon and Nikon mirrorless systems have (apparently fully functional) adapters to mount their existing SLR lenses. A user only needs to buy 1 adapter.

This means that these new cameras can be used a stand-alone new cameras, or as complements to existing cameras from those companies. Both the companies and their users can make the transition at their own pace. If users even choose to make the transition at all.

If Ricoh/Pentax provided a mirrorless mount & cameras, I would expect them to provide a suitable adapter. (If they didn't, they would indeed alienate existing users).
