Kenmore Camera?
was there a couple weeks back and had the same thought, about the K3-III Mono,
But I can get acceptable B&W out of the gear I have.
dropped $2K,on a used A400ƒ2.8 instead.
They get odd used Pentax gear all the time,

More often than not, I see folks lining up behind me to see what I was looking at and pointing their phones at it, too often I've got my 55-300 out, an no phone will find that shot.
Had some high school girls see me walking around with my K3III, and overheard them refer to it as a "serious" camera

When I was at NASA Dryden, about 1992, we had a Kodak/Nikon hybrid digital camera on loan for a few months,
Was an F3 body, with a big battery pack/processor similar, but larger, to the standard Nikon motor drive hanging off it, a big heavy cable (about as big around as your thumb) came out of it, and went to another battery pack/hard drive that hung off your shoulder. The imaging chip was smaller than APSc; I think I remember we needed a 15mm lens for near normal (50mm) coverage. I don't remember having a screen to review images on it, had to get back to a computer and download/review.
We played around with it, I don't remember getting much of quality out of it, took forever to get the image from the chip to the hard drive. Pretty sure it was a prototype, doubt there were very many copies of it made.
I don't see the configuration I remember in this Nikon white paper, but this seems to cover that early period about right.

Was out on the Dungeness Spit last weekend with a bird watching group, lots of spotting scopes,
I was one of the few with a camera, My K3 & K5 with Bigma and 55-300, still not long enough!
On the way back up the bluff I saw a tourist family, the father was carrying a Pentax DSLR with a short lens, never could see it well enough to ID the body, but it was black, not one of those colored ones.
Saw a young boy, 10 or so, with a white "storm trooper" of one variety or another on my ferry ride in the last week or so.
They both had Pentax straps to help the ID
We are getting lots of tourists through this area this summer. Agree with suraswami, jungle of Canikons mostly
