Funny but most remaining K mount body manufacturers are building bottom feeder manual focus bodies. leaving Samsung out of it since to date their K mount bodies seem to have been engineered and manufactured by Pentax. It's much more likely if a new manufacturer wanted to share a lens mount with anyone they'd adopt the 4:3 system. That mount is modern and has several manufactures backing it. As opposed to one defunct company...
