There's going to be a Pentax J Limited online event soon

Mistral75 · 10-15-2020, 10:39 PM - **1 Like**

Another bit of the event announcement which is worth being translated:

■ Event details
・ Introduction of custom prototype model(s) (*) (release is undecided)
・ J limited team talk event
・ Present corner
・ Virtual high five (not compulsory, only for those who wish)

■ Performers
Taguchi (development), Iwasaki (planning), TKO (planning)

(*) Model or models. There is no distinction between singular and plural in Japanese.

Iwasaki is Tetsuya Iwasaki, well known here. Taguchi is probably Ichiro Taguchi, who is the co-inventor of numerous patents hold by Ricoh Imaging (some of them going back to Pentax Corp.).

Is Pentax embracing being limited?

What's with the letter "J"? Japan?

I hope we can hear good news from them aside from birthday greetings.

Looks like the happy few imho.

I've been looking forward to the opportunity to explain our new idea to you.
Unfortunately, the event was cancelled and the event could not be realized.
This was an unavoidable decision under the circumstances at the time.
After that, we didn't have a chance to present our idea to you.

Looking forward to hearing these ideas!

That will obviously be a K-1 II J limited.

Just a friendly reminder for all to stay on topic and not stray into social-polictical discussion and argument.

They say they don't plan to publish a video. In addition, participants are requested not to record the session.

That's a shame. It will be interesting to read what cokes out nevertheless
