I agree. But from a technical point of view imprinting during rewind is a major technical hurdle. On the otherhand if it is done at the shot time like every Pentax has done in the past it would make the camera mid-roll rewind and replace work much easier from a design point of view. Putting some kind of sensor in the area of the imprinting to check the exposure of the frame is much easier that trying to do one in the picture area you might have to move out of the way when you need to shoot. It's the KISS principle. Kent Gittings

This should be an easy one. Can someone with an MZ-S shoot a roll, take the camera into a dark place one shot before the end, remove the film, rewind it manually, and get it developed? If there's no data, then it's printed during the rewind. A control sample (a roll of film shot at the same time but rewound normally) would be a good idea, too. chris - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
