Cannot find Image Transmitter installer

Unfortunately, as I can see, following the link leads to the download of the 2.6.0 update, which refuses to install without installing the original version.

The Image Transmitter is for sale through Ricoh's Imaging website, but as with a lot of Ricoh's products it is out of stock. Wonder why they did not make it a downloadable item. It is a professional item so they charge you about € 200,00.

This software should simply be free with the 645d and 645z, as well as the K-1. IMHO

(Laughs) How natural for companies to want to charge for the products they work to develop, and consumers to want them for free, as some sort of obligation.

Pentax do make the less-featured Lightroom tethering plugin downloadable and free of charge.

I can't understand, but how can I get an installer for Image Transmitter?

Just do a more thorough search of the forums for clues to a solution.

I wish Pentax would support CaptureOne and his Tethering as well as lenscorrection. The tethering with CaptureOne is something like standard in studios (but not for Pentax!) and much better solution than Lightroom.
CaptureOne would do it if Ricoh would just call them and give them the support they need. Please everybody tell this to Ricoh!

I agree that this should be offered as a download. It's likely more a question of not having the e-commerce infrastructure rather than them not wanting to do it.

They may have now, the European Ricoh webshop is no longer part of Ricoh Imaging but a webshop controlled by an e-commerce company called Luzern (Ricohonline) in Ireland. Clients - Luzern Accelerates eCommerce Strategies for Ambitious Brands.

It is the way of the world, is not it?
