I pay Pentax 74,20AUD if they just stop this „product“ and go back to work.

I disagree, black would be better on a black body.

This is how they keep the lights on between releases.

I wonder if each region will get a certain allocation? $50 a piece is pricey but it will look nice on my silver K-1.

I'd pull the trigger right now and buy it off the US Ricoh store. The impulse to buy may have passed by the time it becomes available.

Pricey, but maybe that’ll ensure it’s less likely to be lost (like my plastic one).

Absolutely ridiculous! How can anyone take this as a serious move? That all you got, Ricoh? A hotshoe cover, REALLY?
