Of course Pentax have a magical wand. They have or years sold MF cameras of top 
quality at half the price of the competition. The reason is that the 
competition need to pay the electricity bill, the cleaning woman, the rent, the 
wages, the engineers from selling a few thousand expensive camera bodies a 
year. Pentax can pay all these costs by selling litterally tens of million of 
cameras a year. 
In addition, Pentax can afford to have a loss leader as well in this segment 
something thats much harder for those companies who make MF cameras for a 
living.
