If Pentax introduce a K1D with that design, I will buy one. It still kicks ass years later. -- Cheers, Cotty ___/\__ || (O) | People, Places, Pastiche ||=|http://www.cottysnaps.com _ -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.n

I have a strong feeling it's an official fake. I think K1 to be a posthumous name put by Pentax on their MR-52 prototype (which at that time had very likely to be marketed as the MZ-D), just to support their current camera line. Dario -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml

MZ-D was never an official name. It may well have been named K1D at some point. Or someone might have pasted that onto the site recently. The typography does look like a bit of a paste job. The successor to the K10D is a reality, assuming Pentax remains healthy. Paul -- Original mes

Ah Ha. I was positive, i had seen that K1 picture before, and now i'm sure of it. That looks about the size of the D1 and D2 Nikon series. Fits like a glove.:-) Dave On 5/1/07, P. J. Alling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Either these people know something we don't, (like that's not possible), >

So all those rumors of the K1d were true, except it was a follow on for the MZ-D. I don't know if I believe that any more than I believe that theres a new K1d based on the K10 line in the offing. Perry Pellechia wrote: > Just did a babel fish translation on the site and it appears to be a > rep
