Pentax's japanese site is showing this picture! Don't you think there is something missing on it?

Asahiflex · 10-07-2011, 02:23 AM

Yup, I also wondered why no K-mount DSLR was shown... There's more than enough room for that.

Probably just showing of the smallest and the biggest product.

They cannot ditch K-mount, it is majority of their production. But I'm too offended by this picture.

Netsoft · 10-07-2011, 03:26 AM

Gosh, they're leaving K-mount?

Bingo. A K-5 would "kill" the impact; add the K-r and you'd have just your average "look how few ILC cameras we're making" picture.
I agree that leaving the K-5 (K-mount) out when talking about the new company is not a good idea. I like the picture, IMO it works - but maybe not in this context.
It's not such a big issue, though.

Yes, it lacks the GXR...

Zav · 10-07-2011, 04:09 AM

The K-mount is dooooooooooooooomed!

**RuiC** · 10-07-2011, 04:23 AM

Well, my opinion is that they are showing the players for the new company. That means both the K-5 and K-R are out of this game. New players should arise though! Just a thought out guess.

Yeah, right; they're planning to die. Guess again...

Billgscott · 10-07-2011, 05:00 AM

There is also no dedicated site for the K5 but the K7 is still there.

Is the future to go back??

K-5 : Digital SLR Cameras : PENTAX

Caat · 10-07-2011, 05:38 AM

Maybe it's a hint that they are going to combine medium format with mirrorless....

Kunzite · 10-07-2011, 05:47 AM

Using duct tape.
