I only know that Adam/Mo here had got that when it was released. That K10D got a golden Pentax label.

That is a nice looking camera, the seller states that the grips are dark brown! Does anyone know any info about this camera?

Peter Zack · 06-20-2008, 04:53 AM

this image (from the net) shows the dark chocolate colour better.http://pds5.egloos.com/pds/200707/25/48/c0016248_05075125.jpg

Other than the colour, strap and logos, it's the same camera.

ftpaddict · 06-20-2008, 04:53 AM

Yes. It's the limited "camera of the year" edition of the Pentax K10D. Comes with dark-brown rubber on the camera, golden inscriptions, and custom strap. Joy...

séamuis · 06-20-2008, 04:55 AM

I think the brown is gorgeous, but the gold not so much...

Hi whitedogone

Is that the version with the optional 'go-faster' stripes, he said with tongue-in-cheek......lol ?

Best regards

Gold accessories are of poor taste, IMO. (Trump's plane is a prime example)

In which case, I really must invite everyone round some time to admire the solid 18 carat gold taps & shower fittings in my bathroom suite........they're what I lovingly refer to as 'utterly lurid'........ho ho ho.....!!! Yet again, only kidding....lol !

I like the Gold LX with 50/1.2 better :P

noblepa · 06-20-2008, 06:56 AM

Here's the one I want. Its a special one-off that they did to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the original Pentax in 1957.

Pentax 50th Anniversary Asahi Pentax DSLR: Digital Photography Review

Its a standard K10D, with no built-in flash. The top deck has been replaced with a silver piece that takes its styling from the 1957 version. It looks a lot like a Spotmatic, as well.

If I had it, I'd probably sell it for A LOT of money and buy myself a standard LX with 50mm f/1.2. So no, I wouldn't like one.
