Does anyone know of a retrofit digital back for Pentax SF 1? Ricoh
or other K mount body manufacturer? I have too many lenses to change
from Pentax, and I am too cheap to buy a new body. Thanks.

there aren't any digital backs for 35mm cameras and there is virtually
no chance one will ever be made.

if you have a lot of pentax k-mount lenses, then consider a stabilized
pentax k100d or the non-stabilized k110d. they've been replaced so you
can probably find a good deal on one, or find one used. you might find
the older pentax *ist-d, ds, dl ds2 and dl2 cameras for even less.

The LEICA DIGITAL -MODUL-R is a digital camera back designed to fit
regular production LEICA R8 and R9 cameras. So your blanket statement is
misinformation. If you don't know what you are talking about, it's best
not to say anything and not be taken for an idiot.

Of course!!

How silly of anyone to overlook such an everyday piece of hardware. There
must be many, many thousands of them in use.

Let me think, just how many Pentax DSLRs could be bought for the price of
that Back.
