"IF" in the USA and buying out of state, you could get a K3 and free grip for GBP618. Are Ricoh having a sales drive? link

Not sure if this was a question to me?did you not have to pay customs the vat on top for the Spider system?
I bought a SunSniper Pro dual harness direct from Germany. Delivered to Perth so no EuroVat or import tax.

I looked at the pro version which has an alloy clip and considered how having two of them would work. The dual system is $235. link
I decided on a dual harness in the end as it seems more versatile and moving between crowds was easier as I could hold both cameras aloft without fear of dropping one.
It's a choice that you make based on your needs or wants.

Lets get real, any Pentax FF will be expensive (it won't be cheaper than current FF cameras and lower volumes suggest it would be more expensive). It will annoy half the Pentax users because it's too big or isn't a digital K1000/MX/LX or Ricoh decide to put their name on it. Whether it has an articulated screen or not will alienate others and woe-betide if it has a crippled K mount.
Most of us will never be satisfied, and fewer will be able to justify the expense of the body and possibly new lenses. If one were to be launched next year, it's likely you could buy a used 645D for similar money.
Pentax have to aim high, they have to focus on a pro spec body for it to work. They have to pull users from other systems as well as current Pentax users, that means something special and that may mean concentrating on the 645Z.

You think it will be more expensive than a D4s, EOS 1D X or Leica M, all of which are current FF cameras.
The name on the front should not matter as it's a Ricoh owned company which have in the past said that DSLR's would be branded Pentax.
There are plenty of lenses available. Pentax have been making 35mm format glass longer than cropped glass. There may be some newer, better FF glass to come but that's a choice one makes.
I disagree about the cheaper, used 645D analogy.
If we already use a crippled K mount then what's the issue?
I can't see any but the odd few that would change from an alternative pro system to Pentax FF with the exception of previous Pentax user/owners.
I would buy a Pentax FF body and in the past have been quite noisy and annoyed that it had not appeared.
I got over it and just bought other systems FF bodies and glass. If Pentax do or don't release a FF body it's no deal breaker as there are some spectacular alternatives out there.
A camera is a tool and shouldn't have to be of a specific brand to do the job properly.
