I second that... as a serious name.

But how about this?

FFKU? That might not go so well in marketing testing.

My husband might buy me one if they were called the K-U. (Rock chalk.)

I'm guessing R1. Ricoh would love to take credit of course for bringing back FF to Pentax so a simple "R" prefix would do. Also, it sounds like a race car think about the Audi series. ;-)

Someone earlier mentioned calling it "Frank"...

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

Pentax K-O

the slogan needs to be "PENTAX IS DOOMED"

Pentax O-K is also great...

Is this the 3rd or 4th thread you've posted that?

when there are half a dozen fullframe threads... =)
sorry if you think i'm overposting - next time i'll start my own thread. then no more need for thread choosing!

Perhaps Pentax ME-h would work, if it doesn't pan out that well.

As I've said with the Audi series. Read again. Besides, these are cars and motorcycles not cameras.

richard balonglong · 02-05-2015, 08:27 PM

Maybe Ricoh can still name the full frame with the K series... How about "Pentax K-9", like a dog, and Pentax is an underdog in the full frame world...

It will be XR3 or KR3 so that the people that did not want to buy a K-3 because it has Ricoh on the back will also not buy this one.

In memory of the KR and XR Ricoh film cameras.

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
