It would be wonderful if Pentax exploited the various niche markets
and produced some very high-quality cameras and optics.  Perhaps the
cameras could have a minimal set of features in exchange for superior
quality and durability.  Likewise for the lenses.
I for one would gladly pay top dollar for equipment such as this.  I'd
also like to see Pentax come out with a rangefinder body that could
use not only their lenses (like the 43mm Ltd they made in Leica Thread
mount) but Leica lenses as well as lenses for other, earlier
rangefinder cameras.  A simple adapter could be used to couple various
lenses to the Pentax body (as is already being done for other
cameras).

Pentax could produce all they want of the bread and butter lines of
cameras, and offer something superior to those who want more unique or
specialized offerings.
