Well, that's one way to get your post count up.

On topic: "Kay Dee Ay", "Kay Eff Ay", where's the confusion? Let me guess, a cayeffay is something naughty in Yiddish, right?

No, but it’s insanely offensive in Klingon

I'd rather have a KF since I don't like the grey on black of the FA lenses but love the red on black of the F series

also 3 letters seem a bit long if you combine it with a number... how ever they will call it, sooner or later I will call it mine

Considering what the rest of the world is releasing right now (and over las5 couple years) Pentax should not just announce developments.

Is it? Please to be elaborating.

Truthfully, I wouldn't have considered Klingons to be the sentimental, preserve the memory with a picture type. Don't they usually
go in for operatic numbers as a way of capturing the past?

They will, but we will only be allowed to watch it through a caleidoscope.

Pentax are using fuzzy logic in their naming convention.

My first Pentax was an 'ME/SE'; I understood the 'Special Edition' to be connected to the brown leather and the 'ME' not be part of a sequence.
My second Pentax was a 'Super Program' - which I now understand was neither part of a sequence nor even a name used world-wide.
So, going back to the old ways, they have all kinds of options.

I don't know about Klingons, but if you take all the letters away and put specific new ones, in a specific order the result is an insult towards me, my family and my dog. I don't get why, but this will happen regardless of the name chosen.
That's it. They crossed the line by insulting my dog (rather, they will inevitably do it, once they announce the new camera). I was a Pentax fan, but now I'll never buy a Pentax again

(Now, could we stop thinking what K-something sounds like in whatever obscure language?)

At least you can now read DPR, then...

I just did that and become depressed

No, for real - and it isn't about their unfairness or whatever. They just posted that Imaging Resource will close

We definitely don't want to insult your dog... It might bite....

I hope they can find some way to at least keep the site open for use.

She's a Beagle. Won't bite, but will eat your shoes.
