This adapter is the last thing Pentax needs. It’s source of revenue is bodies, not lenses. I suspect that the decision to concentrate on DSLRs was driven by scarcity of capital, not scarcity of desire to make a mirrorless body.
I think I’ve bought one lens in the last 10 years (the 17-70), and that was only because my 16-45 broke. I doubt that I will buy another lens, because the 15 or so I own cover the range from 11 to 320 mm. I probably will buy another body, though; I’d go for the K3iii if it had a flippy screen, and might still… unless a Sony body and an adapter answers my desires better.
