The third party brands, might be thinking that due to the small range of Pentax bodies and lenses, it is not worth investing in making K lenses.
So, I think it is a two way street, and Ricoh need to have an ability when they take over is showing that the Pentax brand is not only still around, but able to be considered a thriving DSLR brand to the consumer.
To do this, they HAVE to introduce a larger range of DSLR's (not have just two, albeit excellent DSLR's) and also have increased range of lenses. Only then will the likes of Tamron/Tokina/Sigma/Samyang realise that "hey the Pentax system is pretty large and available that we need to have the K mount on all our lenses".
If Ricoh don't then look long term and invest, we may have a situation of only two brands vying for the DSLR market, with a third (Sony) providing an alternative with their SLT camaras.
Personally I think the 2 slr line up is an inspired idea. First rule of business keep it simple. Saw a guy trying to buy a nikon in a shop today & the sales guy getting perplexed trying to explain the difference between a d300s d3100 d7000 etc etc etc...

Chase & Status are one of the new breed of dance, MC, rapping type acts. Their stage acts involves an MC who sprints from side to back to side of the stage. The ligthting consists of a green hue with shed loads of back strobing..Normally this would be a troublesome shoot for the GX20.
Body: Pentax k-5
Lens tamron 17-50 2.8
ISO 2000, f/2.8, 1/80
Processing lightroom 3.3
Getting more & more impressed with the k-5 every time I use it...
