Now...lets talk about names

severalsnakes · 02-05-2015, 01:45 PM

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if they eliminated the K designation for the FF. I think M or L (or F?) is probably a good bet.

I know absolutely nothing about anything, though. So there's that.

I would laugh my head off if they called it the KR-10.

The 200 page thread started by LaurenOE on "why she won't buy the new FF" would be great reading

How about K-BIG. You know, to assuage people's fears about their sensor being.. too small

The Fullframe Unicorn Professional K-mount camera? Since pentax designate their pro gear with a star, the only logical name is....

Pentax FU*K

Which perfectly sums up the first words out of my mouth when I read the announcement....

K-Messiah 5. Long awaited but assumes at least 2 successors.

Docrwm · 02-05-2015, 04:33 PM

Well, it can't be Ki-Wi because that is the designation of the mid-range camera shown at CES.

Akarak · 02-05-2015, 04:33 PM

It will be called

"Pipe Dream" (because until i have in my hands, it's not real)

or

"Canikon Plus" (because it will have the best feartures of those brands PLUS the Pentax novelties)

or it could just be called

PK-Alpha

K-G1 or KG-1 or something with a blend of REEEKOH branding

Please no FF (every sensor is fully used) or X (not just Fuji but Everyone is addicted to them)! How about K-f1 for FA lenses (also steals Df lowercase hoho) or use years instead like Kd-15?

K-2 does fit their rugged theme but people would call it Goodwin Austen (mountain humor) .. plus the ski company might get upset.
