No Kris the name wasn't blanked out with the one I mean
When that photo was published in the UK paper The Independent "Pentax" was blanked out: see here.

And yes, Helena gets my vote over some bug. An ad campaign with her using a 645D would be excellent even if I still couldn't afford one.

Possibly just the sheer power needed? Your powershot doesn't have to make a mirror flap up and down!

Just a guess...

The SFX is certainly Pentax's worst-looking camera. But then, it was a child of its time. Eighties car design was dire too.

It is, however, a very easy camera to use, and built like the proverbial outhouse. I got rid of both of mine a while ago, but I do retain a soft spot for them.

I only have an SF7 (it came with an H2 which is what I was after) and unless I have missed something it seems impossible to apply any sort of exposure compensation apart from using manual mode. I assume the SFX and SFXn had some way of applying compensation? I am running a roll of Delta 100 through it at the moment but I cannot see me using it very much as a result.

Best wishes, K.

The rough order of longevity would probably be black and white>Kodachrome>E6>Colour negative. If you can read the digital file it will never change.
The if you can read the file is the key issue. Archiving digital images has to be a much more active process than traditional photographs. Not only do the files have to be copied from one medium to another on a regular basis, but the decision has to be made to convert from one format to another every so often too. I am already worrying about all my PEFs...
