Re: What the world REALLY needs is a K-2000

[Bruce Rubenstein]

What the world needs and what the world wants are two different things. The world does not want the type of camera you have described, and basically stopped buying them years ago. They simply do not offer good value to people: they cost much more to make than than plastic/electronic wonders. Even for people who do want them, it's cheaper to buy them used.

MXa, bah! What Pentax really needs is a K-2000!

Updated K-1000 the size and weight of the LX; fixed prism; manual and
aperture-priority AE; cloth shutter to 1/2000th; single button for spot
meter reading and exposure lock. Grip built-in. No other frills.

Of course, given that Pentax was really not happy selling so many K-1000s,
maybe it would be painful for them to have to resurrect it again. <g>
