I don't know, if the anticipation of something—anything with a k-mount on it is as fervent among off list Pentaxians as it is on, there might well be a market for one. All they'd need to do is to drop the price on that model once the successor was ready, and they'd have their more reasonably priced entry level dslr and their full frame dslr—a good start into a multiple dslr lineup akin to their current slr lineup.
