I'll go with this one... ;)
Me? I'll celebrate the 100th anniversary by happily shooting with my 60-year-old Auto Takumar lens.
Oh, and I'd gladly take a few Asahi Optical Company stickers.

I wonder what folks think about the content and theme of Ricoh's announcement concerning the 100th Anniversary?
Intrigued? Inspired? Hopeful? Interested in commemorative items?

I guess typos can creep in anywhere. Or, was this intentional, tongue-in-cheek? ;)

Typos notwithstanding, I like the announcement.
In a few words, Ricoh thanks all the customers of the Pentax brand (hey, that's me!), while respectfully acknowledging their predecessors and giving a nod to Japan's photographic industry. They set an outlook for the future -- fun of photography and joy of using cameras -- and give a hint of the upcoming anniversary year. The announcement outlines a brief history of the Pentax brand, which itself dates back by name more than 60 years.
The anniversary logo is simple yet bold and assertive, with the '100' style being familiar to many who have used Pentax film cameras from the K- and M- lines.
Ricoh seems proud of the Pentax heritage, and I'm hoping their celebrations through 2019-2020 bring further recognition to the brand.
