Thanks for that Klaus, however my point was not the issue of full frame which may well happen if only in mirrorless,it is rather what choice to those of us who prefer an optical finder will there be in the APS-C format? as there are only 2 models at the moment with the Kr going,are we going to have a Ks(replacement to the Kr) mirrorless and the K5 as the only choices in the near future? When Canon announce a new mirrorless everybody knows that plenty of models will still be available with an OVF.(and of course Nikon) I know the FF guys shout the loudest and have been thwarted for some time now and I sympathize with them, but as your recent statistics show it's a decreasing market and the majority of "pentaxists with their small stock of lenses want a future that they can relate to format/mirrorless or whatever! But most of all we want to have more than a vague clue,and not polls asking whether we should now "jump ship" This is not the ambiance that a take over by Ricoh should be creating!!!

BTW as you stated the interview seemed to comprise mainly of the 'Q'and '645' so it does nothing ease my nervousness!
