K-1NG or K-1st. K-1st can have successor named K-2nd but K-1NG is so win IMO

How about using R for Ricoh and F for full frame.
Pentax R-F

or better yet...
If we stick an L in the middle, we can call it "Ralph"!

Pentax RL-F

I will not buy a camera call Ralf. I have personal reasons I would rather not explain.

I'd expect: PENTAX K. - no additional 'schnickschnack'. Just: The K!

Imagine, in 25 yrs you´ll be telling your kids about the legendary Pentax K!

They won´t know about analogue or digital. The K will be their gold standard for digital photography and CaNiSo will have quit the camera market. What an idea!

Does it really mater?

KF-1 or something like that

I'd go for K-2. Both because of the first 35mm flagship model from Pentax and because it makes sense in their lineup with the K-3

Gnangarra · 02-06-2015, 01:15 AM

thinking the KF-1 or KRD-1 would work, or the k-3super then they could run a duel range of crop and 35mm sensors with the same naming convention

I think it does if you don't want to read 100s of Pentax fans moaning on this very forum...

K-F2 would also work...

How about "Pentax Messiah"?... cos it's almost like the 2nd coming of Christ for us Pentaxians.

*istDF.

Oh, and make the full frame cameras Ricoh, so it is easier to differentiate :P

Eighter XL (40th anniversary of K-mount) or XVC (95th anniversary of Pentax-Hoya-Ricoh-thing)
