Pentax K-01 mirrorless camera (discontinued)

A recent tweet from Kimio Tanaka indicated that Ricoh has no plans for a 24x36 or 645 mirrorless camera. Mr. Tanaka said that he speaks on behalf of Ricoh and is not expressing his own opinion.

In an interview with Nippon Camera magazine last year, Ricoh said that they have no plans for a mirrorless camera.
