Thoughts on a film flagship

[Robert Soames Wetmore]

Realistically Pentax's immanent film flagship may be it's last high-end film camera. It seems it might go more in the high-tech direction (PZ-1p, Maxxum 7) or, alternatively, in the lower tech - an LX w/ AF sort of thing. Or could it, like the Maxxum 9 and to some extent the MZ-s, hit both points simultaneously: traditional interface, appeal to traditionalists, but high-tech and highly specified? Maybe a bulkier MZ-S (including right hand buldge) with limited finish, faster shutter and drive motor, AF spot beam projector ... which would be like a somewhat scaled down Maxxum 9? What do you all think? Do you think it will go in one direction or the other? Which would you prefer?
