Re: Pentax to make new film camera?

Couldn’t you just buy them all a Leica M11 and a selection of lenses?

Something a bit more practical could probably be done in software. My phone and 
my bike GPS both have a ‘Guest’ mode whereby you can limit the functionality 
when you lend the device to someone. On the GPS it’s for people who run 
self-guided cycle tours - you put in the routes and that’s all the client can 
use except for emergency contact. 

It would probably not take much to program a manual-only mode into a DSLR.

For the new Pentax they wouldn’t go far wrong if they just revived something 
like the P30/P3 and 2-3 PKA lenses.

I'd really prefer it if they (or someone else) made an all-manual DSLR
for photography students. Having so much automation available is a
real handicap for my beginning students learning photography.

They just need to add an exclamation mark to that model for the perfect name...
