If Pentax is to remain in business (and they are certainly pledged to make money for Ricoh) they have to go slowly and slowly means cutting costs and using the "off the shelf" help of Tamron, even though they are rebadge/remodels, after all a profit on a medium run of cameras is better than a loss on a huge unsellable one.
In any event it's utterly pointless criticizing their past behavour, all that matters is the "now situation" and that looks at least stable.
Owner/users of a brand should bring a certain support to the table and boast the features that attract them to the brand, by that, naysayers also have the right to their opinion, but to me.... "you no like, you no buy" says more than any words can!
BTW. I doubt any change in optical formulas above and beyond coatings and removal of VC with the Tamrons.
