On the other hand, this announcement, so far, has generated more outside attention to Pentax than anything I've seen in years.

Agree, I have seen it pop up in many times, in many feeds in the last 2 days. Plus side is that in raises the Pentax brand in peoples mind. Negative side is they associate Pentax with film only :-/

And for those arguing against shooting film: by all means stick with digital, but people are ALREADY SHOOTING FILM RIGHT NOW. It's not about persuading people to switch from digital to analog, it's about catering to an EXISTING MARKET that is currently NOT BEING SERVED (except for Leica at $5k+).

If you really want to argue about something, try persuading a current smartphone user into buying an ILC. That's where the real industry stress point is!
