How 'bout we call Sigma and ask for a K-mount..its not that big a stretch

Except that you lose the number 1 feature of all digital cameras - the
preview screen!
Without that you cannot edit & delete unwanted pictures and you run out

Except the company never provided a working example, and folded awhile
ago.
It was a cute idea, though. I'd have bought one.

I'd like a digital K-mount camera, too, but can't any of the manufacturers find a way
to make a modular, updateable, body? (Now that I think of it, there's the Mamiya
645AFd.) If the CCD could be replaced with the latest version, the camera could stay
current for more than a year or two. Pre
Nope..
As of Tuesday March 12... it's delayed for another 13 days... and that's in JAPAN...
so you can just imagine how long that thing is going to take to get over to North

Yep, Sigma seem to be pushing the boundaries of becoming a good OEM. If
they get a camera with a distinct advantage (eg. FOVEON) which sells
well, they will be up there with the rest of them. The only real
disadvantage to Sigma these days is lack of SMC (like all other than
Pentax), compatibilit

I don't know if this would help, but calling the Corporate Pentax offices and
demanding a decent k-mount digital slr needs to be done by as many of us
Pentax lovers as possible. If Sigma can justify a nice one in, of all
mounts, their own SIgma mount.for heavens sake, it's inexcusible that
