a) A complete line of new USM and IS lenses and bodies, not compatible with previous K-mount. A full electrical mount.
This one is already available. It's called Canon.
Oh, I thought it was called Sigma.
b) Some new USM and IS lenses, but with bodies that supports both the new lenses and the old ones. An electro-mechanical mount.
It doesn't seem to be the current direction.
Of course not. Judging by the latest releases, Pentax will only make entry level bodies and entry level zooms with plastic lens mounts. Instead of competing with Canon and Nikon, Pentax now see Cosina as the brand to match. That's the logical conclusion if we judge Pentax future by the FAJ lenses.
Best wishes Roland
