If Pentax were daft enough to listen to their users They would bring a camera out that didn't take photographs Just clicked when you pressed the shutter
It would have a frame counter that went backwards and showed how many photographs you hadn't taken today
They could also bring out lenses with no glass or SDM motors in them
Come on Pentax.... Let's have another Pentax 1st

Nikon have said they are researching a single model full frame mirrorless for their range. it will no doubt also be very expensive.
With Polaroids, vinyl discs or even cassettes and some old film makes back in vogue there will always be niches.
Rather than a film Pentax I'd be intrigued by a more compact digital slr model without a bulky LCD screen.
As it is i don't think Ricoh is in to risk taking other than 360 degree gadgets etc the Japan market seems to go gooey over.
I just hope they stick to what they do now as I don't want to relearn with a new and expensive system in a couple of years whatever the make.
No glass could actually happen if current sensor developments come to fruition. mind you a smart phone is nearly that eh?

I think a new film camera could potentially sell, though I myself use Pentax film cameras. The problem would be that it wouldn't be any cheaper than a decent digital SLR and there are still so many beautifully crafted and fully functional film SLRs out there. My favourite is the K2 DMD.

I wonder if Pentax will take the risk and bring out a new ff and I don't meen digital
As there seems to be a demand for film cameras world wide it could be a money spinner with the new range off lenses
What you think
