Pentax is advertising again!

Back cover of Outdoor Photographer, July 2017.

Nice promotion of the brand. Also a couple of Pentax photos inside.

That's good to know. I wonder though if many people read print magazines these days...

I picked one up a year or so ago. The last one i actually bought was maybe 3 or 4 years ago. 5 years ago my step mother gave me a subscription to a Canadian photo magazine. Th last few times I've looked on the magazine racks in Walmart and the drugstore, I couldn't even find any photo magazines.

Our kiosks have quite a few photography magazines on their shelfs, so I do assume that somebody is buying them.

That's what I always think. But, I've also seen the end of the month when many of those magazines have their covers ripped off and are then returned to the distributer for a refund.

The title should read "Pentax marketers do something to justify their pay checks." How un-usual. Their contracts must be coming up.

Does this mean Pentax might be getting back in the game? Or was there some extra money in their budget they had to spend before the end of the year?

Pentaxians are mystified. What does it mean?

When was the last time anyone say a pentax a in print? Or anywhere?

Come on, Normhead..Give Pentax and Kerrick lots of credit..why so negative?

I would believe that James himself suggested Ricoh " look, the K1 is a great camera and all, but the other guys are tough to beat, IN THEIR FIELDS, so lets spin the K1 where it should have been positioned from the beginning, landscapes.."

So I would love to see all those outdoor reviews , which are almost all 5Diii's , with the KP and K1..

Also mag ads means = future offerings!

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing Pentax adds, and always have. However at this point, without seeing a few follow up ads I'm not getting too excited. There's just too much chance it's a one off and follow up will be lacking. Now if I saw one every month for like 4 months (you can't pick up a magazine without seeing Canon, Nikon and Sony ads) , I might think they were up to something.

And the only ad I want to see right now is the ad for the under $800 ƒ4-5.6 18-35.
