Pentax K-1 Limited Silver Officially Announced

Production limited to 2,000 units worldwide

By PF Staff in Pentax Announcements on Aug 24, 2017

The Limited Silver edition of the Pentax K-1 is now official!  With worldwide production limited to 2,000 units, this special version of the K-1 full-frame perfectly complements the finish of Pentax's popular silver FA limited lenses.

In addition to the silver camera body, the special kit comes with a matching BG-6 battery grip in silver, a metal hotshoe cover with an engraved K-1 logo, a unique box, and an extra D-Li 90 battery (for a total of 2).  The camera comes pre-loaded with the latest firmware version (v1.41) but is otherwise identical to the standard K-1 in terms of specifications.

Pre-orders are already being accepted in Japan and in the UK at the local equivalent of approximately $2700 USD.  We will announce once the camera goes on sale in the US.  The camera is expected to ship on September 15th.
