Companies that have always built, what are commonly understood to be pro bodies, (as opposed to defensive Pentax user's mumbo-jumbo) may very well never come out with new film pro SLRs again. The last company, without a large pro following, to do this was Minolta with the Maxxum 9, and that had all the sales success of the Edsel. Draw your own conclusions.

Hey everyone,
I don't follow the future of Pentax too closely so maybe you could fill me in on some rumors. Will the *ist line be phasing out the Z/M line of cameras? Does Pentax plan on ever making a pro body again? I'm thinking about moving to a ZX-5n from a ZX-M in a few months and I'm just curious if the *ist will lower the price of the ZX-5n since they are so similar in features and price. Thanks for the gossip, time to sit back and see what happens...
