I bet they're a lot more competitive in the copier market; brings in more profit. I suspect the camera division is struggling to make a profit.

cameras?

What the hell are they thinking?

Probably something along the lines of they can’t get anyone else to sell
their gear, so they might as well monopolize the whole distribution channel
themselves.

As of April 1, 2022 (no fooling) Ricoh will stop selling Pentax and GR
branded cameras through the distribution network and will only sell
through
their own website and branded stores.

Meanwhile Petapixel had a review of the 21/2.4 saying it’s a great lens,
it’s too bad that the K-1 mkII sucks.
