Not for Pentax who actually specialices in the non-interchangeable back market. The lack of back is a feature of the Pentax MF cameras. It's the feature that makes them like 35mm slrs and also give them their compact design. Both Pentax MF systems are marketed as field cameras and for outdoor use few would feel the need to switch backs when theres only ten or sixteen frams on a roll of 120 film. > Last but not least, my answer to your final question...

It must be more unique than equally equipped. Why would anyone switch to Pentax when they can get the same features in system they are already using? > What I dream about, especially after buying a Z-1p a few days ago, is a body > which is based on the Z-1p in terms of the whole design, ergonomy and > features, yet upgraded with the SAFOX VII, electronic DOF preview, magnesium > housing, P-TTL, HSS, Battery Grip. You may dream on but the fact is that the Z-1p didn't sell. It really just proves the point that if they make a camera close to the Nikon/Canon mould a few existing Pentax users may be happy but not a single Nikon or Canon user will notice.
