It is very smart. Please Pentax think about releasing manual focus lenses also at good price.

This project i asked for 3 years ago.

very silly move

It is a stone thrown by Ricoh to shake the stagnant waters. Pentax is unfortunately absent from news sites. This news restores the light to this ancient name, which has dimmed the light. There is a shortage of semiconductor supplies. Also, Pentax benefits from its cameras little because most of its components are imported from a third party. Returning to the movie may be a shocking step, but what is the problem with that, as it is just a project.

Nikon sold approx. 270 film cameras per every year (for last 6 years of sales) before stopped the production of F6 in 2020. Easy to find in web.

270 pcs. in whole world !!!!

We can also say that Fujifilm's most profitable sector is the film camera sector

Pentax can capitalize doubly on this project by reissuing its old film lenses as it did when it brought medium format back to life. There are many companies that produce manual lenses. Why don't Pentax do that and benefit twice?
