This is a good observation. I believe Pentax is moving upmarket by offering Pentax
values (those that created the Spotmatic, ME Super and LX) at higher price points.
Theres no doubt that Limited lenses and now the MZ-S are signs of this.
Anyhow, I feel certain that pentax may produce an F80 competitor one day but I believe
anything remotely like the Z-1p will next time be much more expensive; probably more
than the MZ-S.
