The perfect straight man... You can still buy other make cameras that are strictly MF and don't have winders. Nikon USA lists 4 MF bodies: F3HP, FM3a, FM2n & FM10 (my understanding is that the F3 is out of production, but still available new). You may not be interested in switching brands, but there are options and choices that are not available (new) with Pentax.
