Nope, there is an illustration of all the Pentax SLR models from the Asahiflex all the way up to the K5, Kr and 645D, and the text 'SLR Cameras 1952-2011'.

First official hint that a new product is on its way? Pentax Germany - 'the size of the poster will have to get bigger this year'.

Try this 'comparometer' to see a direct comparison between the two cameras. (Select the models from the drop down menus).

Imaging Resource quote similar maximum print sizes (at base ISO) for both cameras (20x30").

I do want one of these, but had no idea they were this expensive

I just followed the darkroom guy's instructions, it never occurred to me to be especially curious about exactly what was in that developing tank! You live, you learn... I guess what I would be wanting these days would be a reasonably good tonal range, rather than high contrast, as a starting point for 'digital manipulation'.

Howabout -

K series continues with DSLRs both APSC and maybe eventually FF.

New:

M series will be compact EVIL cameras, initially taking the MX as inspiration in terms of form, materials, and external controls, with a new line of small, jewel-like prime lenses and an (autofocus) adapter for taking DA lenses. The new line of lenses should have aperture control on the lens, and the DA lens adapter could have a sort of aperture ring built in too.

So a similar concept as the Fuji X-Pro, but taking the best of Pentax's SLR heritage as inspiration. I prefer EVFs to rangefinder style VFs anyday.

I like the idea of a real shutter speed dial on top, with an ISO dial set within *just like on my MX*! Of course the ISO dial could be a lot 'smarter'.

And into real 'pipe dream territory' here....

New:
LX full frame EVIL. Styled like an LX, uses the same lenses as the M series and takes the same DA (FA) lens adapter.

There's not much point having an Android phone and not making use of the internet... for simple calls, an old school push button phone is much better! Perhaps it's just me, but I'm constantly misdialling or dialling in error, and tapping in numbers during internet banking calls etc is rather difficult.

I would recommend 3's £15 a month unlimited internet plan, or their £10 a month 2GB sim-only plan, both include lots of free minutes and texts too. I use my phone as a modem. Not much use if your phone is locked to Orange though

Is that really so? I wouldn't have thought there was much 'art' to processing B&W films, if you just want a straight process. The magic then happens in the digital darkroom (or actual darkroom, if you're that way inclined). I have processed and developed B&W before, and I struggle to see how any fully automated processor could be worse than me, with my measuring jugs and stopwatch, manually turning the tank every xx seconds!

I have found high street film scanners (Snappy Snaps) pretty poor (low resolution, high compression), and the cheap film scanners also seem less than satisfactory.

I came across this company and have been very happy with the results and cost. They will process & scan C41, B&W, slides, 120, 6x4 etc.

I think dev & scan for a 36 exposure film is about £10 inc P&P. (Size is 3130 x 2075 pixels).

More Groynes is my pick. I like the minimalism and the nice bit of light on the posts gives it an edge over the typical 'blurred sea with posts' shot. Craster Harbour is interesting too.
