I don't think there is cause to worry. Pentax's dslr lines will fill a hole in Ricoh's product lineup. And ricoh has been producing excellent digital cameras for a while, albeit not as well known as other brands. I've owned ricoh digitals and pentax slrs/dslrs.
PS: using non-dslr lens on pentax dslr bodies has always been problematic starting with the screw mount adapters. I had problems wih k100 and a pentax brand zoom and swore off doing it again.
