I didn't mean to suggest only a rangefinder, as Pentax is essentially an SLR company. An SLR might appeal to a greater number of people, and would certainly be a very welcome addition to the lineup, but a rangefinder might carve out a new niche for Pentax. Remember, they've already made the 43mm Ltd in a rangefinder mount. Why did they do that? Just to sell a few hundred to old leica and early screwmount rangefinder collectors, or were they thinking of producing a rangefinder camera?
