They should put that into production - best looking Pentax in years.

Re: NEWS !! Pentax AP ...

2007-06-01 Thread Godfrey DiGiorgi 
Well, it looks rather fat to me, the classical lines are a bit  
bloated in chrome finish. Produced in a black lacquer finish with  
white trim, it would look better: like a mini Pentax 6x7.

One of the things I do like is the lack of pentaprism front overhang,  
it makes it easier to get to the aperture ring on legacy lenses. I  
use a flash so infrequently that I'd never miss that built-in flash  
unit, would prefer a small clip on unit like I use now (Nikon SB-30)  
for wireless triggering.

Cosmetic exercises like this are less important than Pentax  
developing the lens line.

Or a black lens with machined-rings to give partially blank alu.

Don't mean to be pessimistic, but ...

When I look at the *finish* I see a late K-1000 or a VIvitar -- IOW, 
I see a piece of Chinese junk.
It looks like Pentax' return to the marketing plan that brought us 
the ZX/MZ line.
Cheap.  Just harvest the profits.  Forget quality.

But -- I could be wrong.  It could be really pretty and well-constructed.
It just doesn't look like it.

Nice.

It would however have been more interesting if they'd managed to squeeze 
the K10D electronics into a truly Spotmatic-shaped body. Seems like only 
the mirror house has been replaced, here.
