believe that they put much stock in our opinions. We're what, a couple of hundred
enthusiasts? That's a pretty small sample, and hardly representative of the
market as a whole. We don't have much influence beyond our group (or even within
it <g>). They may watch us once in a while, but I can't believe that too many
decisions are made based on what we think.
BUT, just in case Big Brother Pentax is watching, how about a Pentax equivalent to
the N**** FM3 (but way cheaper)? I guess it could hurt to try, eh? <vbg>
cheers,

Bet they'd sell a bazillion more of those than a cheap FM3 knock off. <g> Anyway, as previously mentioned, the demand for new, mechanical Pentax slrs is next to non-existent. The people buying Pentax mechanicals now have a huge supply of high quality mechanicals already available to them at prices that Pentax would find impossible to beat.
