Not a bad effort...




...No shiny silver Pentax KP though
I was saving up for the KP but then decided I only wanted it if I could get the Limited Dark Red. Used my savings for the K-3 III when it went $300 off.

Wot ? No Spotmatic ? Shame on you !!
Hey, my first camera was a Ricoh KR-5 followed by an ME Super. Both donated to good homes.

I agree with you, the K-01 is on top of them all .

Well, I had custom straps made for the others, with lengths where I wanted them to hang relative to each other --- the K-01 is using the box strap (for now). So I suspect it will move down in the line.

No stormtrooper? No family is complete without a stormtrooper.
That's even older than my K-r.

The family is complete. Unless I get an orange WG-80.
You need a white one - to go with the red and blue ones - for US Memorial and Independence Days.

Me too! I think I paid about USD 150 for my KR-5 around 1980. I wish I still had it...

I don't know, but I'd love a dark blue body on my K3 II. I hate that only entry level cameras come in cool colors.
My first four camera bodies were silver and black; perhaps that is the reason I have not liked all-black ones.
I originally wanted a silver and black Q-7, but we had financial issues then, so I got a yellow and black Q-7 and a blue and black K-30, because that is what was available used.

I did return to silver and black for my KP, however.

Of all the gear this K-01 is so special, all the others just look like DSLR's.

I had to settle for silver for the K-3 III
I'll bet that looks classy!

Showing my age here - after the usual Kodak Instamatic, my first SLR was a Praktica Nova 1 with a pre-set 50mm f2.9 Meritar lens ! Then a series of Cosinas, Ricoh KR10 Supers, Pentax MZ30, MZ50, Nikon F, F2 and F3, Pentax K10D, K20D, and now K3. This will definitely be my last, as I have run out of relatives to leave me money in their wills !

A fine rainbow. Some of the options are rather hideous - though I do recall seeking a K-s1 in the bronze. Pentax had a more poetic name for it that I can't recall
I did once have a full-on red K50 with matching 18-55.. couldn't lose it even if I had tried.

Which may have left a few users hands red - allergies to Urushi Lacquer are well documented.



The silver leaf under the laquer makes for a striking look.
