K-3 Mark III Brochure Download

JPT · 04-07-2021, 07:43 AM - **4 Likes**

I picked up a brochure for the K-3 Mark III in a camera store the other day and realized it is probably available for download too.

I'm not sure if this has been posted already, but here is the link to the English version.

It's the same as the content on the product web pages, so it doesn't reveal any new information, but somehow I prefer reading it laid out in print format. Like the GR III brochure, they have devoted more space to photography and less to specs. That fits their stated philosophy.

By the way this is page where you can download the English versions of current and recent brochures.

That brochure is a piece of art that matches the camera (in my eyes). I would love to get a hard copy of that!

They should immediately send a copy to everyone who pre-orders so that we can flip through it and dream of our new cameras until they arrive.

You went to a camera store that featured Pentax??? Wow! There are none in all of the SF Bay area that I know of.

None of those carry pentax. I have checked. Best buy doesn't sell pentax at all. Neither does Fireside. They may carry ricoh but not pentax. And Samy's is now rentals only. Discount camera is one of those tourist traps.

While it doesn't recall the heady "PETNAX" days completely, the number of typographical and spelling errors* - at least in PDF form - may just make this brochure a collector's item!

Nevertheless, it is still a desirable product.
