I saw this posted on the Pentax Facebook page. Didn't see it shared here yet. I thought this was a great move by Pentax. Good to see Ricoh elevating the brand! Thoughts?

Cool!!!

At first I thought Karl Lagerfeld was Mark Newson, which kind of fit my mental image of him, though would have been more like a Mark Oldson. Turns out Mark Newson is a Neck-beard whose idea of getting dressed up is wearing an untucked button up shirt. My kind of guy.

There were some...interesting...people at that party, weren't there?

Hmm..I thought there is no VF? ;-)

"The new Pentax K-01 now features, mini Viewfinder emulation on back LCD screen! We just minimize the LCD display to a local spot at the top middle of the LCD screen! Give others the impression that it has a viewfinder! Make it really awkward for your nose! Save power!"

Either that, or he's just messing around =p

He's either really obviously revealing his ignorance or giving a truly sublime pimp to Mark Newson.

I think that the graphics are pretty interesting given that they don't refer to Ricoh at all. Ricoh seems to be holding the line about honoring the Pentax brand.

I want to see banners at the Ricoh GXR parties coming up. I hope they all say Pentax

Gives a literal meaning to 'whatever he's smoking, I want it'

Max Vadukul is a photographer, so maybe he was giving a subtle hint there
