Does it count if you put a few pictures on your noticeboard?

I'll bet Pentax still makes money for Ricoh on every unit sold. In
fact the imaging division may be the only profit center making a profit.
There is also a lot of synergy in their current, and past digital
camera lines. I expect the the next K1 iteration will have the
focusing module that's in the K-3III and the new processing engine
with very little difference in programming, but a faster bus, to make
the frame rate a bit more competitive.
If there is a follow on to the 645z, and I think there probably will
be since most of the R&D was done for the K-3III, the new bus,
processor and AF modules will all be rolled into that model, with only
minimal changes to firmware, and almost no changes to the actual
hardware beyond flex boards and chips.
It would be nice to see a few new lenses for the 645 line but when I
was working for an actual working pro, he only had two normal lenses,
a wide and portrait telephoto for his brace of Bronicas.

It sounds like Ricoh is designing wonderful niche lenses that few need
and
fewer can afford.
That's what being a niche player is all about. It worked for Leica for
decades.
