This list amazes me. Much as we all love Paal, this announcement crops up everytime there is a lull in the action, every three to six weeks, and has been going on for the last four years, with no exaggeration. By 'in the fall' I guess you mean 'next fall' (that'll be five years); this 'is' the fall in the northern hemishpere. I put a posting up about free Fuji NPH (3 rolls 35mm or 5 rolls of 120) and nobody seems to give a dang; everybody's bitching and whining about digital postings, and how 'film will never die', but put a posting up about 'the flagship is coming' sometime, maybe, a year from now, or so, give or take a few months, but don't quote me on this, and everybody goes nuts! Paal, you are now the PDML equivalent of Britney Spears, and the PDMLer's are the 12 year old girls; you say 'booo' and the PDMLer's all go crazy! By the time this camera comes out, digital will be in an even stronger position than it is now, digital sensors will all be full frame at 20 - 30 megs, and reasonably priced, inkjets will be faster, better, and cheaper, so very few people will likely care anymore about 'the great new Pentax film camera'. I would like one, but I'm a geek. They have taken way too long. Pentax has blown it. It's kind of like Sony making a high end Beta video recorder now, when video is pretty much all digital (yes I know Beta was actually better than VHS, but that argument happened 25 years ago).
But anyway - FREE FILM FROM FUJI!!!! SEE MY LAST POSTING!!!!! Since you're all so against digital imaging. Since film will never die, go gets some for free.
