Via Pentax rumors via a deleted post at dpreview earlier in the month. I have to say *IF* (big IF) this is true, I believe I am in. Been missing my Ricoh GR and was just looking at previous work I did over the last two weeks, and I find this.
Gosh that would rock. I can only imagine that Sony also has a curved sensor camera update for their R1XII line in the wings. Supposedly these promise to keep quality high while allowing for smaller design.
But the Ricoh GR has such a great design ethos, this rumor made reality would rock the world of every street photographer that shoots wide angle, even cropped 35mm.
