Pentax 100 years meeting at Sapporo report

Excellent reporting and photojournalism, Karen. Feels almost as if I'd had the chance to be there. Thank you ever so much. Normally, I'm not all that excited about "fan merchandise", but why they are not offering those "100 Years of History" coffee mugs outside Japan beats me. I would sure want the stylish white one. Can't wait for the K-New to be released!

Thanks, Karen, for this delightful set of pictures and descriptions! Nice to see that they are doing multiple 100 Year events.

Thank you for the great report and pictures. Maybe a new t-shirt image in this one - “Pentax, Cake, and Draft Beer = A Perfect Day”

Nice job reporting! They have some nice swag there.

I think the KP pics would be good enough.

I also brought KP and tried, for meeting’s light is darker than I think, high iso bring noise, the most important thing is, my Pentax lens is not fast enough for catching on AF . KP is absolutely good when light is enough, but not there
