Too much pixel peeping going on! I can't wait for the moans about the K-5iiS being much sharper then the new K-1 FF when pixel peeped by a Pentax pixel peep expert

You are supposed to blur an image anyway before reducing the size....

It reminds me of the early RED LED watches when you had to use TWO HANDS to tell the time and risk spilling your beer I was glad the LCD watches came out

There were people who said RED LED watches were OK.

Probably more to do with the Peruvian anchovy harvest being late last year

A Pentax Ricoh site announcement on 17/12/2015 said:

"RICOH IMAGING COMPANY, LTD. announces that the launch of the HD PENTAX-D FA★ 70-200mm F2.8ED DC AW lens is changed from autumn 2015 to April, 2016."

which may be significant regarding the FF launch date.
Nothing to do with the FF frame launch. The 70-200mm should have been launched earlier, but had to be put back because they hadn't noticed a problem with the foot.

Oh! Dear! Looks like they've swapped the position of LV and Preview buttons

LV will be awkward to switch on

Edit: Same as the K-S2, but that might have been due to the selfie position.

Wouldn't be much use because of the different body thickness. The Leica lens would only focus to about 10" on a Pentax body.

Pentax actually made the adapters type A and B for the M42 screw mount.
