Photography Marketing Speak....

Well at least Pentax was not cited with their Marketing speak...

..... Just remembered that Pentax doesn't have a Marketing Department to speak of.....

I nearly wet my self when I read this one

"Sigma 300-800: ”A perfect lens for surveillance use, its stealth black finish is unobtrusive and easily concealed.”
OK, let me get this straight: the lens weighs 13 pounds, is nearly 3 feet long with the hood mounted, and has a front element the size of a dinner plate. But by painting it black, it’s now “ unobtrusive and easily concealed”. If you mount it as a gun on a battleship, maybe."

Perhaps the same would work if the upcoming Pentax DA560 was painted in black, too

An Image Stabilization within an image stabilization.... curse Nolan for bringing us "Inception" =))
yes, we can go deeper!
