6x7 ad from '73 - PentaxForums.com

I used an old French Pentax ad that was perfect.

Lol, I wonder what the guy in the background is supposed to be doing, and he can't see our viewpoint from there?

Since you are in France Bob, do you speak French? If so what does the French Pentax ad say? Didn't feel like typing it into a translator, text kinda of blurry anyway.

It says;
The new Pentax Optio offers you less. Less weight, less volume...but much more advanced technology and a rare elegance. It can disappear in the palm of your hand.
It's the world's smallest and lightest digital camera graced with a 3x optical zoom and 3.2 Mp resolution. A true jewel for your precious moments. Look closely at the Optio, it's well worth it.
