Friday 12:00 Paris time. New FF lense!
Is this going to be like the time the released the DFA* 70-200 2.8. But then they didnt, I'm starting to think that they new the 70-200 wasnt ready yet but they sent a few testers to get some hype going anyway.

New lenses are always exciting though.

I'm puzzled by the launch date, and the launch location/time (Paris).

Seems disconnected from everything else FF related.

even if it is a DFA* AW HD Hello Kitty Pinhole bodycap.
My daughter would totally flip over that. The Hello Kitty part, I mean. Suggesting to her mother that a $3000 DSLR was essential in order to use it would be an interesting "ask".

Its a new FF lens. Not 70-200! Time for Paris is because Of the releasetime In Japan.

True, although France is apparently the Pentax stronghold in Europe so if they were going to do something outside of Japan or the USA, perhaps Paris is the place to do it? Alternatively, they might be making an announcement in more than one place at once and midday in Paris is a better time than the middle of the night Tokyo-time?

And 7pm in Tokyo, which is odd for an announcement, in particular on a Friday.

Regular Ricoh announcement take place at 7am Tokyo time / 12am Paris time. I don't see why this one should be an exception.
