The press conference features the THETA 360: http://www.ifa-tv.de/
Additionally, the Ricoh booth seems to be pretty small and targeted towards this product.
Maybe not even the existing and new Pentax products are shown.

Maybe the next Pentax K-? will run Windows 8.

It is not only about sold units or market share.
After rounding, the Pentax APS-C share is also close to 0% .
Anyway, Ricoh produces these cameras.
What is the DSLR absolute market share of the 645D?
'Unviable products'?

Nikon is now making more profit with FF bodies than APSC bodies. [...]

Hopefully, this gossip is untrue!
http://ricehigh.blogspot.de/2013/08/a-latest-interview-with-japanese-ricoh.html
It finally is time for a FF Pentax.
I also got some hints that a prototype already exists.

Q: Now, what's going on for the Pentax Full Frame thing?

* The Pentax brand name will stay. It will be reserved for "higher end" products like the current K-line, the current Q-line, and the upcoming FF when the technical team figures out all the in's-and-out's.
* There will be a FF Pentax when Pentax/Ricoh and it will come on their schedule. It's not just about megapixels and sensors. There is a whole engine surrounding the sensor to make sure the IQ is good.

I do not use LR (so I am of no help here) but I remember that I did incidentally stumble across a solution to your problem.

Comment by froeschle posted on LR5 Lens correction for Sigma 8-16mm at 16/08/2013 - 13:00
The problem thus is not due to the lens(es) but due to the crippled mount!
The metering with the help of the green button is not accurate.
Compensation strongly varies.
It seems to have improved somewhat over the years, but not really to an acceptable level, imho.
De-cripple the K-mount:
