It will take time for the releases to come out and as DrOrloff has said many people won't dive in and buy the lenses until the FF has been selling for a while.
It's all down to personal choice, as is the decision whether or not to buy a FF Nikon / Canon / Sony, there is no lack of equipment out there for potential FF users. Pentax are what they are, they will not change their approach in a hurry, we just decide to wait, or we decide to jump ship to another Brand.
For what it's worth, I view a lot of images produced on Nikon Full Frames from former Pentaxians and I don't see anything that makes me sit up in amazement or think 'wow I must have one of those'. I think Pentax have a lot of things right, in particular the colour balance IMO blows Nikon out of the water, much more natural results to my eye. I think the Pentax FF when it comes will be a magnificent beast, worth waiting for.

yes pentax have got a lot right but every one seems to be missing the point that they have got totally wrongReally, what's the point of all this negativity and complaining?

the positives are they can produce the goods
the negative is they wont stand up and say they have made a cock up wouldnt that be more apreshiaded by there customers than just keepin quiet as i said it is better to have the product tryed and tested befor they say they are going to release it than say it is going to be releast at a certan time and then delay and keep doing that it dose not do the brand any good
infact it puts prospectiff customers off and retailers from stocking the products and third party support as well
its as if they like shooting them selfs in the foot

if you prasie a company for getting it wrong they keep getting it wrong pentax executive should not hide behind closed doors and let roumors float about
they should have the balls to stand up and say we have made a cockup and we are working to put it right and it is possboned till we have it sorted
customers would respect them more for that
it would make more sence to not say they are going to do somthing untill it is all ready to go then they can give a deffant release date
sorry but they need to grow balls and admit they have got it wrong even if it is a third party componant
sorry for any spelling mistakes

so Stu you would rather they throw it out there to keep you happy and then suffer the indignity of a recall when problems arise as per Volkswagon, Vauxhall, Toyota etc etc. anyone with any sense at all will know the delay is to ensure the product works as it should with no embarrassment to both the user or Ricoh . anyway did they not say somewhere that it was to carry out improvements they felt were required ? if so that is all you need to know.
as i have said befor they should not say they are going to release a peoduct without it being read
doing somthing like that is suicide
it is not buissness sence
