Good on you!!! You must be a good friend & deserving.
As they say and I'm sure you already do "Pay It Forward"
Have fun with your new Ferrari Red 📷

Nice gift.

Red cars get pulled over by the cops more often for that reason

The KP has a tilting LCD. When my brother is photographing around people, he holds his camera near waist level with the LCD pointing up, on the theory that his subjects will think he's just fiddling with the controls.

Ive done that with my K-1 a few times. People will glance at you, then pay you no attention.

What a great "goes around, comes around" thread! It's always so uplifting to read of good will still alive!

I've put it to good use, too! It gets a lot of compliments.

Nice gift.

I read that as 10 megapixels per hour.

My good friend and former motorcycle-riding buddy, Bob LoBianco came over early this afternoon and brought me THIS! I got him interested in photography a few years ago and he ended up with quite an arsenal of Pentax cameras and lenses
.
He had one camera in particular that I've always coveted, and I looked high and low for one just like it, but those who have them just aren't selling them, so I had to "make do" with my black one and my white one!

Anyway, Bob came over and presented me with HIS gorgeous red Pentax K-50, saying that he knew how much I always liked it and he never used it. He has a duplicate K-50 in white, so he's not without a camera, just not a RED one!

Somehow, just saying "THANK YOU" just didn't seem like enough. I offered to pay him for it, but he wouldn't have it!

I'm Gobsmacked!

You deserve it Dewey!

Thank you, Mark. It was certainly a humbling experience.

I think they made the 18-55mm kit lens in red, but not sure. I know they did for the white, "Storm Trooper" model K-50 and possibly the K-30. You can certainly garner lots of different looks from folks when you're toting a lipstick-red camera around with you!
