Thanks for the heads up.

I though the hot shoe covers was a joke. Then I clicked the link. What's next? 100 Year Anniversary PC-sync covers?

I guess we'll see what they'll sell soon enough.

The covers are back in stock (for the moment) on the France, Germany and UK sites:

Am I too optimistic?

I'm not sure whether you're overly optimistic; to my mind Pentax has a good bunch of loyal followers who would be willing to buy from the fan shop, so their cautiousness may be a bit too much. Anyway, this is encouraging to see.

For some reason I get excited about legacy SWAG but the new stuff does nothing for me. GBP49 for a hotshoe cover? If I win it maybe I’ll sell it.

If the US fan shop stocks even half of the items the international fan shops stock, I'll be happy.

I checked the US, Canada and UK Ricoh sites as soon as the cover was announced and many times since then. I never saw it listed except on the UK site recently (sold in about a week). Do you have a link?

the limited edition hot shoe cover is still available.
if you look at your links for the t shirt, top link .

We probably won't get this in Australia, but I like the look of the Thermos.

Those are only $29, and you get a pair of them

I think you guys are mis-interpreting this.

That section is for the new Ricoh Pentax cooling products division. They will soon be releasing the new flagship model portable fan, which may disappoint some people due to it's lack of articulating blades.

Pentikonian · 11-05-2019, 04:21 PM

Well, it could be interesting depending on what they actually sell.

Just what I was thinking.

I'm hoping it is has 9 curved blades.

Are they industrial grade? I'd like to have one if they are.

I’ve heard great things about the FA-N Limited series.

Though all Dyson people on DFReview are all about those new bladeless models...
