Their top body was the (P)Z-1p, which did not match the EOS-1 or F-4. When
the EOS-1 was replaced with the EOS-1n and later the EOS-1v and the F-4 was
replaced with the F-5, Pentax had no answer.

Actually, the Z-1p was intended as an EOS-1 competitor but Pentax chickened
out and dumbed it down. Originally it was weather sealed in a much sturdier
body. Also the FA* lenses were designed weather sealed. Apparently, the
reason for chickening out was that Pentax feared too many reclamations from
folks treating them as underwater cameras!
