They tried that once on the back of a Pentax and it did not go down well.

It didn't stop people from buying the camera. When some people stop complaining is when you have to start worrying

At one time, cameras imported into the US by Honeywell said "Honeywell Pentax" on the front - while those sold to the rest of the world said "Asahi Pentax"; "Ricoh Pentax" fits into that pattern.

A left handed APSC body with the word PENTAX emblazoned backwards on the pentaprism for photographer self-portraits. As a bonus when people see you photographing them you would look like a mirror image and they’d turn around.
