Maybe by "film" they mean "Instax" and it's a way to help Ricoh out there

It's funny; many of the young film shooters I know where doing MORE digital in the last year+ due to hassles getting film, film getting more expensive, etc. I don't know if that's true in Japan though. And I'm not sure about the intrastructure for getting film developed.

Still, interesting. Might work. If Polaroid could rise from the ashes, and Lomography.com keep going, it could work.

It is possible to shoot Instax film in a Pentax 67. Bring out a revised camera that shoots Instax packs and 120 roll film.

We're assuming 35mm here, but a "Pentax's new 645 takes film" direction wouldn't be impossible. Film, polaroid/instax and digital backs ?
