So no it's time for you to reveal the grand master plan from Ricoh in which they take over Nikon and rename all their camera's to Niktax with a hybrid KF mount making all Nikkor and Pentax lenses available. Conversions of current camera's will be done for $550 or if you convince a Canon or Sony user to make the step to Niktax.

Admittedly, you got me fooled, Kenneth. But then again, on closer inspection, your head doesn't seem to be living all that comfy on that body, or does it?

You got me too, even though I logged on this morning thinking that there would be some April Fools jokes on the forum. That's a testament to how well it was done. As is so often the case, the photo really sold it. My first thoughts were simply "Det var synd!" and "Lykke til!"

It's nice to know that you will be hanging around for a while.

You guys are being really hard on those of us who don't pay a lot of attention to the calendar.

Last night I added “Don’t stick any fish on my back tomorrow.” To a post and I still got caught short.

I think you should release a nice rap video remake of "Parents just don't understand" "Ricoh just don't understand!"

You are sooooooo bad!

Though it it is tempting to speculate that a good pro might accept ambassador status with whatever brand provides the best compensation package

You all know the last time a Pentax Forum April Fool caught us out was when Adam announced the new FF camera. Just a few years ago and a bit ahead of it's time.
