Pentax has already dipped a toe into those waters, with a publicly shown design study in 2007. Look here: http://www.ok1000pentax.com/2007/06/asahi-pentax-50th-anniversary-dslr.html and here: http://www.engadget.com/2007/06/01/pentax-celebrates-50-years-of-uh-pentax/ Apparently, the lack of clamour from prospective customers is the reason they haven't put a retro/nostalgia DSLR into production. And lets not forget the Optio I-10, which was created in the rose-tinted image of the Auto 110. That model hardly sold up a storm, and may have soured Pentax on the whole idea of looking to the past. regards, Anthony "Of what use is lens and light to those who lack in mind and sight" (Anon) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
