But unlike the other manufacturers they are still making mechanical cameras and manual lenses as bread and butter products.
The Nikon F6 is mainly electronic and even has a LCD chimp back plate (film door).
If you wanted Cosina to make a modern K1000, the first problem in the miniature differential galvanometer.
And Cosina have not made a four post Barnack style mechanical timed shutter in a while.
Sover Wong says if you Nikon F2 shutter needs replacing buy another body.
Instead doing a clone of a FM10 in K mount would be easy, ie cheap,
The last K1000 I bought was uber cheap and Mint+++ with foam... There is no market?
