ThisTanaka says you should give up the hope for a possible Ricoh-Pentax FF or MF mirrorless camera

Well informed source ThisTanaka made it clear that Ricoh-Pentax has no plan to launch a Full Frame or Medium Format mirrorless camera.

This makes sense to me. It’s now well too late to start a new system that can compete in the very niche Full Frame mirroless market. It would only make sense to start a new system if there is completely something new on the horizon….something like curved sensors for example which would give a distinctive advantage over current sensor tech. P.S.: Curved sensor is just one wild idea…there are some others too like the new flat lenses.
