According to the interview, Pentax's project to develop a modern film camera is still in its early stages and is currently seeking feedback from photographers.

Pentax is evaluating whether the supply chain of film camera components still exists or can be rebuilt, the interview said.

"We haven't made a final decision on whether to sell film cameras. No decision has been made on this. However, we have decided to meet this challenge. This challenge involves whether we can collect the parts we need to make film cameras. It has been a long time since we last developed film cameras, and many other camera companies are in the same situation-they are not involved in film cameras either."
