Sadness...

RonHendriks1966 · 02-04-2011, 03:36 PM

I love those baby's but my favorite is still the yellow K-r with black (or brown) handles and yellow DA35mm lens.

Call me crazy!

Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the Massive Development Chart.

(Can't have anyone being *sad,* over a thing like this, right?

And I would lay odds there will be some in the USA that "just have to have it" too. How about Canada?

That's just cool

I think it's wild and crazy - just the way Pentax (and the Japanese) want the world to see them as - but they still keep true to themselves as a photographer's camera company - so the craziness shouldn't matter all that much.

I think they should make one for each NFL team color so people who goes to the football game will know who they are hooting for... I would love to see with the Giants color scheme.

And they need to put those special flashes on them. You know...the ones that work from the third tier bleacher seats.

I really really like it. In fact, maybe I will buy one as my first dslr.

sjwaldron · 02-04-2011, 06:50 PM

I still see some black plastic on there, so they didn't go ALL the way.

I'd like to see a camo K-5 though. haha

luke0622 · 02-04-2011, 06:54 PM

thats whats up, Pentax! I am digging it!

Isn't this just Pentax's way of Being Interesting?

I know at least 5 people who would probably buy that just because it is so damn ugly and anti-establishment.

OK, forget all that. I agree.

Agree with the first part of this. At least in Australia there is the whole inner city hipster trend that would love a camera like this just to be "ironic"

It's just a limited edition of one hundred. It's just done to have the camera displayed on fashion magazines. I can't see any bad on that.
