Bob,
I don't believe that any idiot chooses to own a Pentax. Your desires
can be as inconsistent as you like (but to me an inconsistent argument

BTW my dream Pentax has no meter, interchangeable finders and screens, a
manually raised and lowered mirror (slow tripod work a top priority, you
see), the simplest shutter there is, and I don't care
Bob,
You're usually one of my favourite correspondents to PDML, but this time
you've gone off half-cocked. The inconsistency of your argument is a
joke.
On one hand you say,
I am willing
to pay the extra necessary to obtain what I want.
But later you contradict yourself thus,
Your solution
Fine.
Right.
I'm a real idiot with inconsistent arguments and desires.
You win the intellectual discussion.
I still want what I want.

All future cameras need is a slow, silent winding mode (can't be too
hard if Canon can do it) and non auto rewind (I noticed recently that
Nikon F4s retained a manual rewind crank, don't know if it

I'm not sure that Pentax would want to go down that path. BTW that body

I confess I'm not familiar with an F5. Is it really true then that I can
remove a winder and the autofocus drive and associated weight? (Gotta be
able to drop down to a light weight here.) Is CW IDM metering really

Also, with all those features it would have to be bigger than expected. I
would think of it as comparing the F3 to the LX. Therefore the modern
counterpart to the F3 being the F5 and the F5 is a monstrosity.

You don't want an LX. Why not try a Minolta or Canon?
I'm sure they would have something more in line with
your way
