Be careful what you ask for!

Maybe it refers to the mount: P for PLM and the body will not have an aperture block at all and only use PLM lenses. Which would mean a whole slew of PLM lenses released at the same time.

KP! The camera with no heritage and no respect for the past!

The use of kp I know in German is the acronym for "kein Plan" which means "no clue".

I find that fits perfectly. Because we have:
- no clue what kind of camera it will be
- no clue when it will be announced
- no clue where Pentax is going with their naming scheme

Oops, you're right. I speak german too but I usually don't use any of the abbreviations.

However, I don't think "No clue" is a good name for a camera, even if it fits for the moment!

This got me thinking.. It might be K-Pop related

Hopefully it will be something exciting.

If it is not a low-end FF, very likely it will be another low-end APS-C!

Dude.

It replaces the K-3 series. Pentax doesn't do low-end.

Just. Stop.

Not true, that's just innuendo.

Ricoh has many gastroenterology innuendos in their line up. Here's another one, gastroscopy housing for ricoh theta: https://www.amazon.com/Ricoh-TH-1-Water-resistant-Clear/dp/B014D22OSQ

Pentax also have KP lenses in their portfolio of products. They are C mount machine vision lenses designed for 2/3" and 1" sensors. That's not the point either.

This lens will have a new type of weather sealing that is a step up from AW, that will be called OW!

It's a subtle hint about what they plan to do to the competition

Don't go suggesting that some enterprising cost cutting hospital is going to try it. I must admit as a health professional myself the FOV would be fantastic, imaging uploading to Youtube "Trip through my Gullet" in glorious HD 360 surround (VR headset recommended)

it doesnt replace the K-3II and is no FF ... something new with mirror!

UserAccessDenied · 01-13-2017, 05:21 PM - **2 Likes**

Sayuri says something is coming in two weeks; it's not a continuation of the K-3ii, rather it's an entirely new concept.

Apparently it will have a newly designed battery grip as well...

I'm very curious. Is she talking about K-P?

They said it isn't a further development of the K-3 II. It could (for all we know) replace the K-3 II in the lineup.

We shall wait and see!
I'm curious, I wasn't going to spend any money on camera bodies in 2017. But if the AF system gets improved drastically over the K-3ii on a new APS-C body, I might need to start saving...
