Most of the people who take up film shooting do it with an old film body bo=
ught off Ebay, or ETSY or shopgoodwill, etc.  Part of their fascination wit=
h it is the nostalgia and there are hundreds of millions of old film bodies=
, most available for peanuts.  Trying to sell a new body for film might not=
 fly.  The cost to make a reliable mechanical camera today will be high.  L=
eica can charge what is needed, but for Pentax, it'll be interesting to see=
 what direction they take, dirt cheap, or higher-end.
