A deep blue with silver lettering would sway me. But jet black isn’t a great appeal over the regular look. I’m certain someone will buy them however.

They address that and say that they dials and such can be seen at a slight angle. I’m guessing it’s easier than we might think but still a small bit harder than normal.

That would be nice a deep royal blue with silver lettering.

I would say 'sold out' rather than discontinued. The K3iii is very much available, just not the limited edition Jet Black version.

I wish they'd come out with that royal blue/silver variant. Or a black/gold variant like the J Limited KP.

Please read it is discontinued not sold out.

Please read it is discontinued not sold out.

Of course it is discontinued, as it was never supposed to be continued after having produced this unique batch that has obviously sold out now.

Yes I know that but tell that to bspn he reckons it's still in stock.

He says they are "SOLD out" they are not the Black edition has been completely discontinued.

Read his comment again. I think you are both saying the same things just with sight differences. He may have said sold it to qualify just that the k3iii overall model isn’t discontinued. He seems to acknowledge the black one is.

The whole post is about the black edition I said it is discontinued which it is and he is saying it's sold out, big difference, discontinued means it can't be ordered ever again whether it's in stock or not, its not on "back-order"

Neither of you should be so hung up on exact choice of words. It seems like the message is clear in both cases. No more jet black k3iii’s available; no change for regular k3iii availability.

Let's all be Pentaxians here as UV basically suggests!

right.... choice of words? it's about definitions of the words, 2 different meanings.

[gatorguy]

Enough pettiness please! This is such a silly back-and-forth, all essentially saying the same thing but disagreeing on the choice of words. I see thread bans in someone's future if it continues.
