Pentax (company) was founded in November 1919: Pentax - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
But brand name was created in 50s

When Pentax was celebrating 75th ann, they released a silver Z1 camera:

That's 15 years ago (1994).

My favourite anniversary camera was this one:

AP 50th Aniv.

Too bad you couldn't buy one.

And how confusing are all these "anniversary" dates?

Ratmagiclady · 09-14-2009, 11:22 AM

That's actually pretty sweet right there.

An AP digital.....I like the shape of the prism.... Would be nice to see something in November...

it would be nice if they redid that for the K-7 body. I would love it if they just brought back the old letter styling, like they featured on this beauty.

At some point I think we will see a special edition K-7.
Hopefully a real titanium/bare metal body. MMMMMMMMMMMM

Well some special editions have been available oustide japan but no most.
The Grand Prix K10D was available outside for example, as is the white K-m.
