ach jaj, xmeda na pentaxforums.com pisal to iste, ze kto by si uz len kupoval K1 a hned mu odpisal chalan z Southern Indiana, ze nech netroluje a ze on si kupil K1 + original Penaxy FDA15-30 + DFA24-70 + DFA70-200.
z toho mi vychadza, ze sami Pentaxisti sa ani neprofiluju ako PRO ziviaci sa fotografovia sportu/svadieb/wildlife a RICOH tak aj stavia svoje portfolio a knowhow (ako vidia viziu fotakov a nasledne aj aky dizajn davaju fotakom vid
Pentax K-S1/S2, Pentax KP a ake rozsahy a svetelnosti maju skla)
Pentaxisti maju zrejme CaNikon u riti

Zeiss abandoned us, tamron created last lens for pentax years ago and no new design is available unless called DFA, Sigma reduced portfolio of pentax lenses significantly and probably is going to abandon us and take care of others like rising Fuji.
The problem is REDUCED LENS OPTION
Who the hell is going to buy K-1 + 15-30 + 24-70 + 70-200 + 150-450 if he can get D810 + tamron 15-30VC + tamron 24-70VC + great tamron 70-200VC + great nikkor 200-500/5.6 for LESS MONEY... ? Not to mention selection of available fast lenses like 20/1.4, 24/1.4, 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.4 etc etc for Nikon.
There is no way Ricoh would introduce more than 2-3 lenses a year to cover photographic needs... On the other side there is FUJI going stronger every year. After 4 years there already are many X mount lenses.. And Pentax after 13 years of digital era is stil somewhere at the end of tail.
Loosing sigma would only result in even less K cameras being sold. K-1 was no huge success, at the beginning the hype was huge, but by now all those hard-core pentaxians with old lenses were saturated and we can see cashbacks, sales and other stuff aimed on selling more K-1 as that camera created no significant growth. Even in JAPAN Ricoh/Pentax only achieved 4.8% of market share... that is the reason why those 3rd party manufacturers are turning back to K mount. Years ago it used to be around 10% in Japan and 4-5% worldwide.
It is hard to attract new customers into buying product that only can be used with own overpriced lenses with almost zero 3Rd party support, while others enjoy all those new lenses every year on their canons or nikons.
Without significant boost into APS-C cameras portfolio and stronger marketing I see nothing optimistic. With current methods we can expect market share dropping to 2% this year.
Nice.

I bought a K-1 and the DFA 15-30, DFA 24-70 and DFA *70-200. I have never been a big fan of Sigma lenses and now that they have gone bigger and bigger, they just feel sort of the opposite of why most people buy Pentax.
The DFA zooms aren't exactly small, but I would purchase the K-1 for lenses like the FA limiteds and the DFA 70-200.
Beyond which, features like astro tracer and pixel shift notch the K-1 above the D810 for my style of shooting for a lower price.
I know you are trolling, but even without Sigma support, Pentax still brings quite a bit to the table.
Sony A7 IV + A6000 + Sony FE 20/1,8G + Sony FE 35/1,4 GM + Sigma 50/1,4 ART DG DN + Sigma 85/1,4 ART DG DN + Sigma 100-400/5-6,3 DG DN
Treba kamarad byl hoooodne nestastny, kdyz si rozmazl nikkor 24-70/2.8 pri velice pitomem klopytnuti o nerovnou dlazdici na chodniku..
