Pentax KP 100 years anniversary edition

Almost 12 months ago I replaced (DIY) the solenoid on my K-S2. The repair was succesful until few weeks ago dark images started to reappear.
For some time I tought buying a SONY A7 ii, until I found a great deal for a KP.
Not just an ordinary KP but a limited edition one, that celebrates the 100 years of foundation.
Unlike the KPJ, in my model functionality and materials are the same as a regular KP.
An official "100 years of history" logo and a random year between foundation to 2019, are printed on the camera boby
In the box I found few goodies including the hotshoe cover.
Only 101 cameras are available and I believe (but don't quote me on this) it's an exclusive for the italian market (FOWA).

For the next weeks I'll be busy studying all the new features and testing it's capabilities,
I know for sure that it's going to be a great successor of my K-S2.

The K-S2 will be the designated to my PLM telezoom, and maybe I will convert it to IR.

Few resellers still have one model in stock, thing is that most of them don't ship outside the country.

Sorry that the solenoid repair on your K-S2 did not take , but glad that you found a deal on a special edition KP! I think you are going to like it.
