I can see why they have stopped making lenses for Pentax and at the end of the day why should anyone else support the brand when the actual owners don't seem interested.
However Pentax owners certainly do show interest in the new K mount lenses from the likes of Irix and Samyang.

Having said that, I can't see why folk want new APS-C & FF cameras every year . Do people have too much spare cash lying around?
There must come a time when the optimum has been achieved within the bounds of current technology. Until something better arrives, be it a new sensor or processing chip etc. what would a new model do other than provide more of the same?
Take the K-50. wasn't it a K-30 simply with updated firmware, to the extent the K-50 firmware could be made to install on a K-30 and provide the features of the newer model? Thank goodness that doesn't happen every year, though it my keep those who want a new model annually happy!

in my opinion if Ricoh are serious about cameras they would have spent more time and money on Mirrorless and not something that appears to be having diminishing returns, the DSLR camera.

Also try a few photos just in auto, if they all still come out with that magenta cast it suggests a fault with the camera somewhere.

Best to eliminate processing issues first.
Also try doing a default setting on the camera to see it that resolves it ('Back to initial settings'.)
Is this closer?
