Nice, thanks.

Pentax in India. Interesting.

normhead · 02-24-2014, 10:28 AM

Was there anything new there? I went to sleep.

Apapukas · 02-24-2014, 12:08 PM

Nothing new, even though he seems like a nice guy compared to the ones from CP interview.

fuent104 · 02-24-2014, 12:15 PM

At least he says things like "we have the greatest lineup" in reference to the aps-c lens selection. It is nice to hear some enthusiasm.

I'm I the only one who thinks that his head is enormous compared with the body!? Almost looks like a bubble head toy.
Wide angle lenses or interesting person!?

Well there is also South America and Afrika without Pentax, so the world is larger. Good steps making I think.

VladimirYo · 02-24-2014, 12:40 PM

He can smile. It's nice.

mikemike · 02-24-2014, 01:44 PM

I wonder if they will have more aggressive (aka lower) prices in the Indian market.

calsan · 02-26-2014, 10:28 PM

He didn't like being called 'Jimmy-san', that's for sure.

Boring

This is obviously an interview from Better Photography Magazine and not Better Motion Photography Magazine.

Prices are a bit on the higher side here in India, Even accounting for the insane taxes and weak rupee.

I am not seeing any limited primes here in India. Also seeing the prices, i feel it would be cheaper for me to buy from international on-line stores.

They need to price it better so that the gear reaches more hands. For the extreme weather conditions in India, Pentax would be tempting at least as a second body for traveling photographers.
