Pentax is rather unlikely to start yet another line - they did not go FF with their DSLR, and aren't likely to change that in K mount format any more. If any, I'd expect a medium format EVIL camera or a FF M mount GXR module from them, as these would upgrade rather than cannibalize existing product lines.

I still dream of them releasing a FF... Hell, the rumours on Dpreview at the end of last year were that this year Pentax would release a mirrorless and a full frame...
Well they have released the mirrorless, so now I just pray they will release a full frame! Very Happy
