Take a look at the rumors and interview floating over the web from past few days, the first rumor is arriving from china and another one interview of Mr. Kohei Endo of Ricoh imaging has been published from Japan,
According to a Pentax user (from China) three FA Limited lenses will be updated soon.
Take a look at the translated text below via
– The “update” will happen soon,
– The Japanese style green “pearl” of the lens-changing mark on the existing Pentax 31 and 77 Limited lenses will be removed,
– The new lens will still be screw-driven for the AF, i.e., no SDM nor DC nor whatsoever in-lens AF motor,
– New HD lens coating will replace the old SMC one for better performance,
– A Ricoh red ring will be added (and of course)!
(via – forum.xitek.com/thread-1248533-1-1-1.html)
Latest interview of Mr. Kohei Endo of Ricoh imaging has been published in the Digital camera Watch watch (Japanese) website,
Main points of the interview (So far what I understand after reading the electronic translation)
No confirmation available about the arrival of Full Frame Camera from Pentax but the chapter is not closed and work is going on.
Pentax will focus on development of feature rich APS-C DSLRs, such as the recently announced Pentax K-3 features is the world first camera to feature user selectable low-pass filter, + it also features 100% optical viewfinder and waterproof body design.
Waterproofing and Zoom lens may be also added to Ricoh GR series,. Its really a great news for pro photographers and Pentax users that company is so much dedicated about the development of pro compact camera(s) and APS-C fromat DSLRs.
Pentax Q is designed to attract smartphone users.
