My vote for #4 is based on the magic and unknown. The believe in God and the church and the unknown out there. All the photos are good, but "4 does have more than a motive. It has a message, that we, as human beings, still are alone about what is out there :-)

To avoid any misunderstandings I attache the bill.
I certainly believe, that this is an official vendor for RICOH and PENTAX equipment

That may be right but does not make the product coming from a grey market !

It has long been known to consumers outside of Asia about the hazards of buying grey market Chinese edition cameras through non same country reputable sources that these types of problems can arise !
I certainly expect this purchase to be an original Pentax K-3 and neither from a grey market or to be a copy of the original product ???
The problem is that RICOH is differentiating the product which, to my knowledge, was not the case when Pentax was Pentax

This is my mail to and answer from Pentax - I have also attached photos of the camera, serialnumber and the menu
Dear Hans,
Thank you for contacting RICOH.
The language options on RICOH/PENTAX cameras including the K3 are set by regions. Dutch is not one of the options on a camera purchased through the distribution network for Singapore. There is no firmware update to add an additional language option.
If you are in need of further assistance, please respond to this email or call our technical support center at 800-877-0155.
Sincerely,
Randall S.

This camera was bought in Singapore on 4th of june 2014 and taken to Denmark. Today I have updated the firmware succesfully to 1.0.3.
However, the language menu on the camera is still just English or 3 different Chinese.
How do I laod a software giving me the opportunity for choosing a Danish menu on the camera.

Hello Pentax Friends,
This is a question from a frustrated Pentax user in Copenhagen !
I just invested in a K-3 Silver Edition and had the opportunity, that a Chineese friend bought it for me in Singapore and brought it to me.
In advance, I had contacted the K-3 forum on Facebook and the Scandinavian service center to get a confirmation, that the camera would contain an International MENU !
This was confirmed !
However, the fact is, that the camera only speaks English and 3 to me unreadable Chinees langauges.
I have reported it to the international Pentax Service Desk and the answer back is, that the camera is born with an Asian language pack that cannot be changed by upfating the firmware.
I realized that by updating from 1.0.0 to 1.0.3
Also I was told that the camera was delivered with an exclusive leather strap !
IN fact the camera was delivered with a cheap read/brown plastic strap not at all matching the look of a K-3 Silver Model.
Is this the NEW standard of service and equipment after RICOH has taken over ?
I'm a great Pentax Fan and I started with a K100D jumping to a K20D adding an original 18 - 250 mm lense and now K-3 Silver Edition - I wonder if the next step shall be NIKON ?
