SO the guy there has handled one, but doesn't have a smile of permanent bliss welded on his face, and hasn't won any photo competitions yet? That's it, I'm not buying one.

Indeed. They've been making FF prisms for about 50 years or more. So it will be interesting to see how they have evolved the design.

I'm hoping that the design of the housing indicates something special is inside.
(I'm also hoping that the {striking} design of the housing shows up on other Pentax products - it would be nice for them to have a visual differentiation from the other brands {look how my Super Program was more squared-off, less rounded- that sense could even be spread to lines like the Q}, and it would be nice for there to be something special inside for that differentiation to be something that people actually care about)

That's a bit hard given that the camera hasn't officially been released yet, but I'm LOLing at all the rest.

Remember that in various fictional universes, all sorts of things can happen when you see God - ineffable joy is one, but in some variations beholding His full glory will burn your eyes out and can sometimes kill you or worse. (Remember in the Christmas carol "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks By Night", even the sight of an angel terrifies the hell out of them. And also remember Indy's warning to Marion in Raiders of the Lost Ark - so when the spirit of Kumao Kajiwara comes out of the camera on official release day and starts melting the faces of the SoCaNikon crowd, don't look at it.)

This Paris Pentax store is on my list the next time that I am up there ... hopefully that visit will be soon.

Thanks for the original post. J

If they can sell just 6, it will pay all hitter costs for the month.

I'm wondering if it is for a k3 bundled with it.
