When you look at the hundreds of thousands of WORKING name brand 35mm film cameras on the market for well under $100, its hard to believe a new, unproven, M42 mount body would garner very much interest except as an oddity. And a pretty expensive oddity at that!
If you read the description carefully, it states that the camera's lens mount will be interchangeable, so you don't necessarily need to use M42 lenses; only the lens supplied with the camera will be M42. The camera will be compatible with Canon FD, Nikon F, Olympus OM and Pentax PK lenses. And there are plans for a Minolta MD mount plate also. I wish I had a camera that versatile! The interchangeable film back is also very interesting. As far as I can tell, the price for the camera hasn't been determined yet... we'll have to wait and see exactly how "pretty expensive" it will be.
