Trying to sell a new body for film might not fly. The cost to make a reliable mechanical camera today will be high. Leica can charge what is needed, but for Pentax, it'll be interesting to see what direction they take, dirt cheap, or higher-end.

I see "film effect filters" coming for 'phone cameras - if they're not already
