Digital spotmatic poll

I'll be getting a K1, but it's a big and high-tech camera. I've always wanted a second camera, something light and compact, to use with my manual focus lenses, for when i want to travel more discretely, when time permits and the mood is right. I'm thinking of a manual focus camera with a big viewfinder and split prism from an MX. Why? Because it's enjoyable to focus those M and A lenses manually, and to peer through that huge viewfinder. It would be FF and K-mount of course. So i thought of the specs of such a camera and came up with this.

First, here are all the things that don't make it in the camera:

- AF goes. There is no AF, no AF module, no second mirror, no AF confirmation and fiewer electronics

- No AF buttons on the back or the side.

- No wifi, no gps and no pop-up flash

- No ports for headphones, mic, dc, hdmi, usb etc.

- No video, obviously

- single SD port and conservative fps and buffer

- 450-gram savings on the body (over the K1) and much-reduced price tag as it's low-tech.

Here is what stays, and what is new

- Nice big pentaprism from the old MX with interchangeable split-prism viewfinder

- A way to view the aperture of M lenses from the viewfinder. I was thinking of the old optical window. (I'm not adding a "de-crippled" K-mount as that would be costly and it's inaccurate anyway.)

- metering for M lenses could be on the shutter half-pressas there's no AF

- 24mpx FF sensor, they are becoming cheap.

- IBIS, that is nice. Including AA filter simulation and pixel-shift, since we have IBIS.

- LV with focus peaking for detailed focusing

- Styled after the Spotmatic (maybe the most handsome Pentax imho), all-metal, with minimal grip if any, and brass top and bottom plates

- the PASM dial, dual dials, ISO and exposure comp buttons etc all stay

- add a tripod socket on the side like the 645 series

I think such a camera could weigh around 550 to 600 grams and be about the same size as a Sony A7 series. The launch price should be attractive, about half that of the K1. It could probably become a classic / collectors / cult item.
