And, y'know, I'm pretty sure Pentax would never do that in a million
years and Hoya would do it in a femtosecond if they believed it would
drive sales.

I've been thinking about this colour thing for a bit too. Pink isn't
my favourite either... :-)

But today there's already a well-established aftermarket for skinning
both cameras and lenses. Most oldtimers on the list will remember the
snake-skin leatherette varieties applied to the LX (César, are you
reading?), and in nature photo circles it's very common to have the
big lenses wallpapered with some kind of camo pattern. Pentax could
have a little gimmick there, seriously.

If you extrapolate this, less seriously, Pentax could in fact design
entire colour schemes for different types of photography.

We already know the Swarowski crystal variant; could be destined for
celebrity phography. _By_ celebreties, of course. The arctic
stormtrooper variant has also found its niche already. Could be a
time-limited option though, all the while the polar ice caps melt
away.

Bright orange for sports, to max the ad effect whenever the camera is
caught on video.

Concrete and asphalt camo for street photographers?

Other suggestions?

One should perhaps also point out that the colored models that we will  
get - white, navy and red - will have kit lenses in the same color.
That is not the case for the hundred color combinations available to  
the Japanese.

...also, not every color of grip is available with every color of
camera. Guess I'm conservative too - I'd get a navy/black myself,
failing other combinations not available right now.

camera. Guess I'm conservative too - I'd get a navy/black myself, 
failing other combinations not available right now.

The premier version did not include a lens choice. I thought they would 
offer colored lenses too but that is not the case.


Instead, they include the 40mm limited pancake - and soon - the 43mm 
F1.9 limited too!

The standard choices are the 18-55mm, of course, but also a 55-300m lens.

The badge says - I love It! - and what else is there to say. Let's hope 
the color thing comes our ways too.


The color ranking page is interesting, the most popular combo is 
white/black, followed by navy/black and red/black.

Rather conservative choices it seems, with hot pink in the 12th place only.
However, with the pure black version in the ninth place, it still looks 
as if they are onto something good.

Bertil
