Pentax Legends

Just found this: Pentax Legends - Over 50 Years Of SLR Photography

"Pentax has created some of the most much-loved cameras in the entire history of photography. Many photographers working today will have taken their first pictures using a Pentax SLR.

To celebrate the launch of the new Pentax K-7, the next generation in professional quality DSLRs, we've interviewed some long-time Pentax users about the experiences they've had shooting on these classic cameras. The photographers then take the brand new Pentax K-7 DSLR on a photoshoot and give us their expert verdicts on the latest addition to this iconic line of cameras.

Every month we'll interview two more Pentax photographers about their history with the iconic brand and the new K-7 - bookmark this site to stay updated with these real-life stories."

Pentax UK seem to be doing something for once! Must be from all that extra cash they have from the ridiculous price rises which are way over the actually manufacuring costs increases!

Woah..!!! This is a big surprise for Pentax UK indeed.
I'm happy to see that they are making a start and hopefully it yields better results and more sales...which means reduced lens prices..

Cheers

...even if they do mistakenly refer to the K7 as "...the next generation in professional quality DSLRs".

Looks like there's still more to come.
Anyone entering the competition?
