Yes, but when talking about full frame, there was always the argument saying "there will be no FF because this means 'professionals' and Pentax covers this segment with its MF line".
So no 'professionals' anymore? No upgrade path if you want to go beyond what APS-C sensors can offer (and what is supported by the new line of K-mount lenses)?

Sounds like good news to me: "A new focus on highly profitable digital SLRs." The abandonment of the MF development had become pretty much an obvious direction as time went on and as the K digitals proved quite successful.
