Good Morning,don't you know that in Europe it has been presented the new K-3sx?
It seem t be the new reflex dedicated to the left-handed photographers.
It's identically to the traditional k-3 but with a new chassis!

pS: sorry for my english, i'm out of practice!!!

What's up with the sudden influx of troll posts today?

I just came across another post saying that the Pentax FF was still a myth

max_pyne · 10-01-2015, 01:54 AM

it's not 1st of April?

cla1986 · 10-01-2015, 02:18 AM

do you know "polemiche pentaxiane"?

ok, in Italy we say "If u don't cath the irony, try with tomatoes" or "ok, let's buy a Nikon!"

bernhardn · 10-01-2015, 02:24 AM

you forgot to shop the characters on the lens!

jawsy · 10-01-2015, 02:33 AM

Yeah, fair go. Trolls thrive on negativity, this is just a quick gotcha.

I actually believed it for a few seconds, but my excuse is that I've had a long day.

Ah, if true , it talks to me: I'm left handled and left eyed, so my nose always hit the LDC display.... that's really a weird thing with DSLR and viewfinders... there's not enough headroom between the view finder plane and the LCD. So on my K-3, there's always a typical nose mark on the LCD.

P.S: I don't have a big nose... I can imaging the situation is worse for people having a long nose... :-)

I'm a lefty and can't back button focus without sticking my thumb in my eye.

I know it hurts.

I wonder if a company would be brave enough to produce a single production run of a left handed camera body. Every copy would be sold.

cxdoo · 10-01-2015, 11:25 AM

I'm left handed and find the current arrangement perfectly fine. I think I'd be lost trying to use this (if it existed).

Yes, but are you left eyed ?

rrstuff · 10-01-2015, 12:14 PM

The difference in levels of anti-aliasing between the s and x hurts my eyes.

biz-engineer · 10-01-2015, 12:27 PM

Sorry, the K-3_Sx was not pre-announced on pentax.com , so it can't be.

Yes, and big nosed too.

I guess I just got used to the arrangement.

Stuff they make that depends on handedness I mostly use with my right hand. Except the mouse.
Man, when I have to sit at a PC with that curved mouse with eleventy buttons, 'perfectly fitting in your hand'... ugh.
