if a mount could be devised which allowed K mount lenses via an adaptor with full functionallity (auto metering and focus) then Pentax could conceivably do the same thing, but whether it would sell well enough to be worth the R&D effort is another matter.
Basically what Canon have done with their "M" series camera although I don't think it's selling that well.
Well there's no harm in Beating up Olympus, while Nikon's on the floor screaming!

I did mention a new Lens line in my original post and that was the reason why, it may not be possible to provide SR, K mount and possibly Screwdrive, to run Ltd Lenses in an acceptably elegant chassis? I don't really think (Hoya/Pentax) tried. (Sorry K-01 Fans:blush Ricoh said they have big plans, I'd like to see them compete as much as possible and become the genuine No3 in the Camera Market, that means beating up Nikon who also don't really do mirrorless. It's just another way of gaining traction.

Not to mention the FF word!

i agree with you John,I'm just postulating on how Ricoh can enter more markets and expand the brand a bit? Now personally I don't like any mirrorless with anything other than a pancake type lens on it, like you I find that they just become unwieldy and fiddly but thats not to say they wouldn't be other peoples cup of tea? My mate has a Fuji X-E1 and that new 55-200 Lens, permanently bayonetted to it, and to me it's just plain stupid but others love it, rave about it in fact. Me I'd rather have an APSC, DSLR as small as you can make it but with super functionallity. Oh wait I've got one!
The GR as is appeals to me on a lot of levels but adapting it may give Ricoh a way in to what seems to be a very trendy market...

Ok I meant depth!0
Not thinking of it as a GR per se but as a Nex competitor?
New lens lone or maybe screw with Ltd's to start?

And SR?
Be slightly wider but not impossible.
Clip on finder.
Any chance you think?
