Originally posted by KungPOW I like that Pentax is still making clear promo bodies for show. The earliest I know of would be the SFX in clear. Does anyone know when Pentax started to show clear bodies at the dealers?
They were doing it long before the SFX. I've definitely seen clear Auto 110's, which, due to the film being contained in the plastic cartridge, were fully functional.
I know I've seen clear M-series cameras, and I think I even saw a clear Spotmatic, once, a long time ago.
I suspect that the clear K-5 is fully functional, as well. The light/mirror box is NOT made of clear plastic, so there would be no light leaks.
I'd love to see one at a dealer. Of course, I'd love to see ANY Pentax camera at a dealer.
