Your post name is bad for my heart....

This title is the worst kind of exploitative clickbait.

Having just bought a K1, I would smack you upside the head for that one if I could reach that far

- talk about a gut twist, as I sit down on a Saturday morning to see what's happening in the world of Pentax.....

luckily, some fine jo on hand to settle things down a bit

This bullcrap need to hit the exit ASAP.

I think it's great Ricoh honours the Pentax history. It shows their investment in the brand.

That is nice, but your title is not just misleading but is also one more foolish negative statement about a brand which does not need such disservice. Please, let's avoid cutsey but disrespectful titles. There is no need for clickbait on a photography forum.

As if we do not have enough people feeding the inner beast.
Tell the story but change the headline.

People without any sense of humour can just ad me to their ignore list. I didn't post this in the news and rumours section for a reason.

In this case, intervention obviously is needed to clarify.
I had earlier created a thread on MF and I forgot to make it clear that it was manual focus (not median format which is in another sub-forum though). The moderator wrote to me asking me if I minded she adding the clarification. And I said :"of course not".
Well, I could not have been more thankful to such a proactive approach.
