KF limited white unboxing

I received the blue version originally. A mix up on Ricoh's part. Here is the white limited to 700.

It looks matte. Is it shiny or matte? Thanks for sharing.

Very nice. Did you have the white lens(es)? Or recently find them for sale somewhere?

Congratulations! Beautiful camera. I am delighted to see Pentax resume offering cameras in colors other than black and silver. My K-S2 is in matte white with light grey rubber/silicone grips, and I get lots of compliments on it. Some people stop just short of saying "I didn't know it was physically possible for a camera to be any color other than black!"

As countless others have said, Ricoh/Pentax botched this rollout a bit. It should have been called the K-70s or the K-70+ or the K-70 mk II. Only the sourest Pentax trolls would bother making videos or blog posts excoriating "Pentax Announces the K-70s" for being a deceptively minor update. Calling it the KF indicates that it belongs in the mid-tier "letter" models such as K-x, K-r, KP, or K-S2.

The K-70 never seemed a proper replacement for the K-S1 and K-S2 because the K-70 had no color options. I'm not saying the right answer is 100+ combinations of body and grip à la the K-50, but neither is the right answer "it also comes in silver."

I'd buy the Crystal White KF in a heartbeat if my K-S2 weren't already a solid delight. Enjoy it!
