If that's true dunno what to say, those would be the most advanced film cameras ever made and they will stay up to date for years to come...  Nobody but Pentax would launch new pro film bodies and surely they won't be  in a hurry to launch new models...

With the mirrorless option gone they have to fill the remaining niches. It is, however, interesting that they think there is still money to be made with film SLRs. After all, the used market is full of film SLRs looking for a new owner

 It's difficult to see whether there is a profitable market for SLRs, let alone a range of SLRs .... used existing Pentax AF lenses are mostly dated by current ML standards, but more than adequate for modern films and new lenses are where the money is.
 
  What happened to their medium format cameras from which we hear nothing new ..... 

  The only positive for them is used SLRs are becoming difficult to find spares for !

Vinyl is back in vogue. Why not film?

A mirrorless film camera... Now that would have been interesting!........

Right?....
