As a Pentax shooter I say "thank you" to dpreview for doing this test and re-test. Many Pentax owners may not like or agree fully with the conclusion, but I think tests like these are helpful both...

Yes, I think it is true to say that prices on film cameras are on the way up. Pentax 6x7s could be had for very cheap some years ago, but not so now. And the 645/645Ns are also more expensive ...

K-3 My digital history is *ist DS, K10D, K20D, K-5, K-3. I upgraded quite rapidly in the beginning, but the K-5 was so good that I felt little reason to upgrade further. Only a tremendous bargain ...

The Pentax K-1 already has a very competitive price for what you get: weather sealing, great build quality, great image quality and more, but its price has been remarkable stable since launch. ...

As long as new cameras accept/are compatible with pre-2017 lenses, i am totally OK with it, and think it is the way to go.
