I agonised over it because I very much wanted a silver K3 but didn't see a use

guess there is a risk that the Silver K3 will be available later by itself but
as I'm not paying a premium (apart from the cost of the grip I may not use) I
don't feel too ripped off. In fact, like most Australians, I am rejoicing that
we pay the same price as the US customers.
I would rather have waited for solid reviews but if the silver kits sell out
and there is no rerun then I would be much more annoyed. I know they are
calling it a limited edition of 2000, but that might just mean there will only
be 2000 editions of the complete kit, so the only truly limited piece might be
the leather strap. That's just a guess, but I can't understand why they would
bother bringing out silver versions of the new HD limiteds and then have so few
potential buyers.

Hi
Some guy at Flickr said that he wanted the silver version, without the grip,
which he didn't need. (The siver version is only available with the grip
included).
I think that the Silver edition actually is quite cheep. You get the grip and
one extra battery and a leather strap for appr. 250 Euro more. That's a very
reasonable pricetag. I usually pay 250 Euro for the grip alone - no silver, no
leather strap and no extra battery.
I guess I'll order the silver version very soon - it's simply beautiful!
And I happen to own three silver "limited" lenses - 31 mm, 43 mm, 77 mm. They
af VERY nice, beautifully manufactured lenses, that can produce very fine images.
It's funny, that they only make 2000 copies of the Pentax K-3 Silver edition.
I guess they are all gone in early November!Regards
Jens
