This showed up on my Instagram feed. The link is to K1 MarkII bundles, but the banner at the bottom got my attention.

Or wishful thinking, which I will gladly join you in doing. Heh.
Nice catch!

I saw it too on Instagram. My thoughts on this were: The social media employee has once again typed too fast.

100% agree it's not a hint.

I'm sure they're conflating the K-1ii and the K-3iii. It may even be a reused layout or copy/paste that just didn't get fully switched.

ALTHOUGH: Pentax, if you're out there reading somewhere, I'm 100% on board with a K-1iii preorder.

The II is probably wrong not the III.

They copied the latest K-3 III adverts ?

Typing error, keep an eye on the killer deals for the K1 mark II. Odds are good they will try and clear out stock ahead of the successors launch, I don't think Pentax will carry 2 FF models at the same time.

I think the reference to the K1 Mark III was poor proof reading of the post too. I just thought it was a funny mistake to share with the forum, given the frequent chatter about waiting for the K1 Mark II replacement.

It does give us something to talk about while we wait and wait.

I'm sure it is just the link that is wrong and the banner is correct. So K1 III must have been released now!

I mean Pentax proof reading has always been water tight, and no mistakes has ever passed it.
