Pentax is K-mount (basically their bayonet version of M42 they used before). So Pentax basically always has been about K-mount. And then there were the Pentax medium format mounts.... Pentax 6x7, Pentax 654. That was Pentax. The only small Pentax mount (before the silly Q) was for that odd Kodak 110 film I think, which only ever had a handful of lenses.

Nothing, basically, makes more sense for Pentax than K-mount.

Somehow I doubt that quitting Pentax (ditching K-mount) and renaming Olympus MFT to Pentax will be a big commercial success....

    Pentax is in a similar boat with regards to future fragility ... so I wouldn't see them being well placed to offer a rescue plan ........ they have enough of their own worries ........
 
  Anyway we know that JIP is stepping up to the plate so any further suggestions is just paying lip service after the fact.
