I don't expect Pentax to be releasing mirrorless cameras rivaling
Sony's or anyones for that matter. Or I don't expect them to produce a
camera aimed at the professional sports photographer market. But their

Well, *IF* I was running Pentax (and yes, I know I'm not), what actual customers
who bought previous models had to say about them would be "my" starting point
for developing new models and for improving older ones.
What did "we" get right? What did "we" get wrong? What do the customers say they
I suppose another interpretation might be that Pentax doesn't _receive_ much
feedback on new model direction but mostly on existing models.

The statement seemed incongruous to me as well, which is why I mentioned it.
But it's from a senior manager and it's perfectly clear, despite much of the
rest of the article being contradictory.

The impression I got when the K-1 Mark ii was announced was that the
improvements were driven (in part) by customer feedback and that feedback was
also the reason for the "upgrade" being available for existing K-1's

I see, thank you for the clarification.
However, I disagree with your interpretation; it can't possibly mean
that. We have paragraphs like:
"We have lots of requests for lenses, especially from K-1 users. They
want more lenses that match the higher resolution of the K-1, so
that’s one objective whi
"Feedback, especially from K-1 owners, is more focused on the upgrade services."
I see that as saying that feedback is used primarily to upgrade existing
models, not on new model direction.

Wheras I still have the primes of 28, 35 and 50 from the fim era I very
much like to have a ff 20 mm prime at an affordable price.
There is such a great gap in ff wide angle range compared to what is
available for the APS-C DA lenses.
