I'd expect all A, F and FA lenses would work with a FF Pentax. That's a

I'd like to see Pentax put more effort into attracting new buyers who
will want new lenses and leveraging that to rebuild the product line.
Investing in the very small number of people who bought lenses decades
ago and don't want to upgrade is not a good business strategy,
especially when your current products support this market segment better
than most of your competitors.
Yes, attracting new buyers is critical. The other day I was in Best
Buy picking up a USB cable or some such and walked through their
camera display. I found myself thinking how everything in there looked
the same and that the new K-S1 would really stand out. The old farts
that populate the PDML might not like it, but that's beside the point
in the wider world.
